Tennessee head coach Phillip Fulmer offered his assessment of the South Carolina game film Sunday night after a brief team workout inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. The overall grade was 'I' for 'inconsistent,' particularly in regards to the offense."Inconsistencies at quarterback are a primary area of concern," Fulmer said. "Our defense actually played well. We gave up one drive, about five plays where they dinked it around and made some plays. Really, they didn't get much else the entire evening. Offensively, it's inconsistency. It's not just the quarterback, but that's a bad place to have inconsistency."
The Vols will have two weeks to work on those offensive issues and fine-tune one of the nation's better defenses before returning to conference play. Wyoming visits Neyland Stadium on Saturday before the Vols have an open date on Nov. 15.
Tennessee is ranked 11th in the nation in total defense, surrendering just 276.7 yards per game. The Cowboys will arrive in Knoxville gaining 284 yards per contest and putting an average of 11.7 points per game on the scoreboard.
Kickoff for the Vols' homecoming contest is set for Saturday at 1 p.m. ET. Television coverage will be available on VideoSeat pay-per-view.
