What we think of Tennessee football after Vols beat South Carolina (and UK beat Gators)

Good news for Tennessee: The Vols thrashed South Carolina, avenging their 2022 loss to the Gamecocks.
Unsettling news for Tennessee: Kentucky dismantled Florida. How did the Vols look so bad against the Gators, and how will UT handle the Wildcats later this month?
Good news for Tennessee: The Vols’ run game took off against South Carolina behind a recalibrated offensive line, now that Cooper Mays is back after a preseason medical procedure shelved him for four games.
Unsettling news for Tennessee: Wide receiver Bru McCoy is out for the season with an ankle injury.
Saturday had to be a bit of a roller coaster of emotions for Vols fans. The biggest development, though, was Tennessee beating South Carolina.
No. 18 Tennessee is 4-1 (1-1 SEC) in this open week, before hosting Texas A&M next week.
On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer, Adam Sparks and John Adams reflect on last Saturday's developments and what they mean for Tennessee.
Add it up, and do we feel better, worse or about the same about the Vols? That depends who you ask.
