ihe hot oouth Carolina football team r
(4-3-1,2-3-1) will try to ride the shoul- ?
ders of star senior quarterback Steve (
Taneyhill Saturday against the always ?
tough Tennessee Volunteers (6-1,4-1). ?
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.
A big win over Tennessee becomes s
very important now as the win would s
make the media look at Carolina as a t
good team, and thus Taneyhill would j
have the opportunity to impress the na- c

Jay Graham has likewise been im)ressive
on the ground for Tennessee,

allowed only five passing touchdowns
this year.
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

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.
Prediction: USC, 51-49. You heard it
here first.
