Halftime report - USC @ UT

Just updating the fans here at half time.

So far Connor Shaw is not looking incredible, but he does have a touchdown pass that has put the Gamecocks up 7-3 at the half.  Brandon Wilds is looking excellent with the ball, though.  He's broken a couple nice runs, and he's been catching the ball and breaking tackles for nice gains as well.

Bruce Ellington hasn't been used this game yet, but I expect he'll be in a few plays in the next half, but this is a good decision to nurse the hamstring and not put a lot of pressure on Bruce.  Marcus as always is in high spirits and is keeping his team morale up.

Alshon has a minimal influence so far, but had a nice gain on a screen thanks to a nice block by Ace Sanders.  Speaking of Ace Sanders, the only 3 points by Tennessee so far came off a muffed punt by Sanders.

As for Tennessee, as expected, their freshman QB Worley came out struggling but has found a nice groove, and he has been showing his cannon of arm.  He's impressed me some today, and should continue slinging it around, hopefully we can utilize the LG's inexperience and get Clowney and Ingram on him.

Also expected, RB Poole for UT is trying to run everywhere, but what was in doubt, is the fact that we have contained him relatively good considering our rushing defense over the past 7 games.

New article coming after the game with more information.
Thanks for Reading!
