Former Oklahoma Sooners head coach Bob Stoops predicted who will win some of this weekend's biggest games, including the Tennessee Vols' home game against the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night.
Stoops, who coached Tennessee's Josh Heupel at Oklahoma in 1999 and 2000 and was later his boss, said on his YouTube channel on Friday that the matchup against South Carolina is a revenge game for Tennessee because of the Vols' 25 point loss in Columbia last fall.
And Stoops thinks that's a big reason why Tennessee will leave Neyland Stadium with a win on Saturday night.
"I've gotta go with Tennessee, really because of the home field advantage," said Stoops. "And the fact that they'll have something to prove from a year ago. That doesn't go away."
While Stoops thinks the Vols will beat the Gamecocks, he's not exactly sleeping on South Carolina. He knows they're a dangerous team.
"Spencer Rattler and what they're doing at South Carolina, you never know," added Stoops. "But they've had a couple of bad games here this year. So they may not be quite as strong as they were a year ago. Shane Beamer does an awesome job. But I'm going to go with Tennessee, just for the revenge factor and [it's] at home."
Tennessee and South Carolina will kick off at 7:30 PM ET on Saturday night on SEC Network. Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers will be on the call with Cole Cubelic holding down sideline reporting duties.
