Wes Durham, Dusty Dvoracek and Taylor McGregor to Call Tennessee at South Carolina on ESPN

The broadcast assignments for the biggest games of Week 8 are set, and Tennessee's trip to South Carolina on Saturday, Oct. 24 will air on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. ET. Wes Durham will handle play-by-play for the game in Columbia, with Dusty Dvoracek as analyst and Taylor McGregor reporting from the sideline.

Tennessee heads into the matchup at 6-1 after beating Alabama last week in the Third Saturday in October rivalry. The Volunteers' defense delivered in that win, and running back DeSean Bishop again paced the ground game, giving Tennessee momentum as it returns to the road in SEC play against the Gamecocks.

The Tennessee game is part of a crowded Saturday slate of ranked matchups. Earlier in the day, Indiana visits Michigan at noon ET on FOX and LSU plays at Auburn at noon ET on ABC, while Texas A&M at Alabama also kicks off at 3:30 p.m. ET on ABC. The night window includes Ole Miss at Texas in ABC's primetime spot and Houston at Utah late on ESPN, a Top-15 Big 12 meeting that will also host ESPN's College GameDay that morning.

For Tennessee, the assignment puts a familiar national crew on a conference road game with little margin for error in the season's final stretch. After the emotional Alabama win, the Volunteers need a steady performance at South Carolina to keep their record moving in the right direction, and viewers following along on ESPN will have Durham, Dvoracek and McGregor guiding them through it.
