The No. 5 team in college football is in danger of seeing their College Football Playoff hopes and dreams shattered this Saturday night.

Can South Carolina pull off a massive upset at home this Saturday night?

Five possessions, five touchdowns for South Carolina's Spencer Rattler is 14/19 for 249 yards and four touchdowns as the Gamecocks lead Tennessee 35-17," said 247Sports.

Brandon Marcello said, "South Carolina up 35–17 over No. 5 Tennessee.

First time South Carolina has scored 35 points in the first half against an SEC team since 1995, according to the ESPN broadcast."

Trey Wallace said, "Tennessee drives down the field just before halftime to score a touchdown. Bru McCoy tipped in.

Wallace has life. 35-24, Gamecocks. Such an impressive half from the South Carolina offense," Trey Wallace Wallace said.

College football can get better when Tennessee is good. But if South Carolina is kicking Tennessee's ass then it's best not to," said Brandon Walker.

This Tennessee offense could easily overcome an 11-point deficit. But can volunteers slow down Rattler & Co.?
