South Carolina proved that they were the better team today. In the mud and rain, Carolina raced out to a 31-0 halftime lead and did not look back.

Clearly once again Tennessee's downfall was in the special teams department. They gave up two punt return touchdowns in the game that set the tone for the rest of the game.

"This is not really a tough loss for the team. I think they knew it was going to be an uphill battle, but I do feel confident that they did fight with their all and gave their ALL for Tennessee today."
