COLLEGE FOOTBALL FREE PICK: South Carolina is 7-0 ATS L7 following an ATS loss. Tennessee is 0-6 ATS L6 in Oct. Last year: South Carolina (-3) over TENNESSEE, 14-3. South Carolina (4-2 SEC) is coming off tough losses at LSU (23-21) and Florida (44-11). The good news is that they take on a struggling Tennessee team (3-4, 0-4 SEC). RB Marcus Lattimore has struggled against very tough defenses, running for just 48 yards the last two games as he’s battling a bruised hip. Now he’s healthy and ready to go, facing a terrible run defense that has allowed 246 yards on the ground to its four previous SEC opponents. The Vols have to face a very angry South Carolina team on the road. QB Connor Shaw is likely back at quarterback despite being yanked at the half, nothing new for a Steve Spurrier team.
