Former Georgia QB Aaron Murray reluctantly picks a winner in Tennessee-South Carolina
Aaron Murray has made his call on Tennessee's game against South Carolina, and the former Georgia quarterback did not sound happy about where he landed. Previewing the matchup, Murray teed up his prediction by saying, "I really don't want to do this," before naming the winner he sees between the Volunteers and the Gamecocks.
That reluctance is really the story here. Murray starred at Georgia, a program with no affection for Tennessee, and a pick delivered through gritted teeth says something about how this Volunteers team is being viewed heading into the South Carolina game. Whatever direction he leaned, Tennessee goes into the matchup carrying the respect of at least one former rival who would clearly rather not be giving it.
