Vols Return to Columbia for Rivalry Rematch | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee returns to Columbia in 2026 for a high-stakes rematch against South Carolina, seeking redemption after a brutal 63-38 loss in 2022 that ended QB Hendon Hooker’s season. They got some payback in 2023 with a 41-20 win at home, but skipped the series in 2024 and 2025 — making this a long-overdue clash. South Carolina’s Shane Beamer joked about their 2022 fireworks budget while praising Tennessee’s new-look roster under Josh Heupel. Historically, Columbia hasn’t been kind to the Vols — they’ve only won twice in the last eight trips. This one’s got history, heart, and high stakes.
