Tennessee will play South Carolina at the ACRC Bowl Series after both teams won semifinals in the SCRC conference Saturday.
USC held off a determined Alabama team 34-27 i a game where the teams continued to trade tries. No. 8 Mike Mahon was outstanding on the day and shared player of the game honors with scrumhalf and goalkicker Brian Keown.
For Tennessee, things looked ominous early as Florida scored a try and a penalty to lead 10-5. But Tennessee mauled over a try to tie the game and then Dylan Craven, Josh Landon, and Jack Donlon, with Andrew Sayers adding a conversion and a penalty to win 30-13. The Tennessee maul was a hugely important platform for the Vols.
So this sets up a rematch of a clash between Tennessee and USC on October 31, which Tennessee won 17-14. The rematch will be the penultimate game at the ACRC Bowl Series at the Rugby Athletic Center in Charlotte, NC.
