A win over Tennessee would guarantee Carolina at least a .500 record and make them bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive season.
The Gamecocks went 6-5 in 2004, 7-5 in 2005, 8-5 in 2006 and 6-6 in 2007.
It’s the first time they’ve gone four straight seasons with at least a .500 mark since 1987-90 (8-4, 8-4, 6-4-1, 6-5).
The last time they went five or more consecutive seasons with a .500 record or better was from 1928-34.
