KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -
Decked out in black jerseys, Tennessee
took three South Carolina fumbles and turned them into touchdowns
as the Volunteers beat the No. 21 Gamecocks 31-13 Saturday night.
Jonathan Crompton threw two touchdowns, Montario Hardesty ran
for two more and Rico McCoy forced two fumbles as coach Lane Kiffin
grabbed his first win over a ranked opponent.
After warming up in their traditional orange home jerseys, the
Vols (4-4, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) took the field in
Halloween-inspired uniforms.
South Carolina (6-3, 3-3) fumbled on its first two drives on a
rainy night, having entered the game with only five for the season.
The Gamecocks began clicking on offense in the second half as
the Vols sputtered. Stephen Garcia connected with Moe Brown on a
31-yard touchdown pass to cut the margin to 28-13 with 2:05 left in
the third quarter, but it was too little too late.
