FOOTBALL • COI)TI[)UED FROdl 13 expect Tennessee defensive coordinator John Chavis to alter his game plan either. “Will Tennessee do something differently (to cover Rice)? I don’t know. I think they have confidence that their (defensive backs) can cover anybody in the conference, so I don’t know that they’ll try to change what they do just for one or two players.” With true freshmen Mike Davis and Bobby Wallace expected to carry the load at tailback, Spurrier is looking for a few big plays to keep the Vols’ defense honest. “I think they’re number one against the run,” Spurrier said, “and no one’s really run the ball very well against those guys. It’s going to be tough, but maybe we can get in the shotgun and throw it quickly here and there and make a few yards and see what happens. We’ve got to find some run plays. We’re going to try to run it, and hopefully get one or two to bounce out for a few yards.” Tennessee is coming off consecutive losses to rivals Georgia and Alabama, and after the Carolina game, the Vols travel to South Bend to take on v nationally ranked Notre Dame. Spurrier was quick to dismiss any possibility of Phillip Fulmers squad overlooking the Gamecocks, meaning Carolina will have its hands full this weekend. “Coach Fulmer hasn’t won 10 or 11 games every year by overlooking anybody.” Comments on this story?
