The game will be played in Neyland Stadium at Knoxville this Saturday in r front of95,000 fens. About 10,000 Game- r cock faithful are expected to make the t trip. ( This game features a couple of in- c teresting matchups that should be fun to watch. The most prominent match t up will be Steve Taneyhill versus Pey- t ton Manning. j Taneyhill has thrown 25 touchdowns c and 5 interceptions including no inter- t ceptions thrown in his last 141 pass at- t tempts. In addition to his efforts in the r Vanderbilt game, Taneyhill was voted a the SEC Player of the Week. Manning has been impressive also v with 13 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. ? He was tabbed by the SEC as their play- a er of the week alter Tennessee defeat- -] ed Arkansas on Oct. 7. / Taneyhill has been mentioned as a s bonafide All-SEC quarterback and even c has an outside shot at winning the Heisman.

Jay Graham has likewise been im)ressive on the ground for Tennessee, ushing for 886 yards and scoring eight ouchdowns. The Vols have compiled a >-0 record when Graham has rushed for iver 100 yards in a game. Another interesting matchup is in he receiving corps with Zola Davis batling Joey Kent. Davis has caught 49 >asses for 764 yards and nine touchlowns. Davis is a serious candidate for he SEC Freshman of the Year and has >een one of the most impressive freshnan that Carolina football has seen in i number of years. Kent has been quite impressive as veil this year, catching 43 passes for >66 yards and 5 touchdowns. Two weeks igo, Kent had a career high 80-yard long D pass on the game's first play against ilabama. Kent also tied the Tennessee ingle game reception record with 13 reeptions.

While Carolina has suffered against the rush, Tennessee has struggled against the pass. They have given up 14 passing touchdowns this year and are ranked 73rd; yes, that is 73rd in the nation in passing defense. Tennessee has allowed only 112.5 rushing yards this season and only seven rushing touchdowns. This game appears to be a shoot-out, with the Gamecocks passing at will and the Vols rushing while being able to miv in thp naas nn SnfairHav Tennessee's front four don't have to blitz to put pressure on the quarterback so Taneyhill will have to release the ball quickly to one of his talented receivers. The Vols will try to establish a running game early and will work in some play action passing to keep the Carolina secondary honest. Carolina needs to have a big game from the linebackers to stop the run so they can attempt to stop the potent passing attack of the Volunteers. Taneyhill and Manning will put up great numbers and the game will come down to time of posession and turnovers. Can Carolina keep the ball away from Tennessee and force a few turnovers? It will be tough to do but a bowl trip is riding on this game. I believe Brad Scott will get his troops ready and use some razzle-dazzle trick plays to pull the upset over Tennessee.
