Chase Daniel gave an interesting reason for his prediction of the winner of the afternoon SEC matchup <\/a>between No. 11 Tennessee and South Carolina.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniel, a former Missouri QB and analyst on SEC Network, thinks it\u2019s just the right time of the year for the unranked Gamecocks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re sitting here in the meetings yesterday, we\u2019re talking about this game, and we\u2019re all thinking like, \u2018Hey, why in the world does Vegas have South Carolina favored?\u2019\u201d Daniel asked on a pregame panel. \u201cWell, boys, you know what it is, right? It\u2019s Cocktober. It is Cocktober, and they are coming out for it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tim Tebow and the rest of the crew\u2019s reaction was priceless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Beware Tennessee fans\u2026Cocktober is REAL for South Carolina<\/p>\n

These guys couldn\u2019t even get through that conversation without losing it\u2026immature!! pic.twitter.com\/GYzqFQxX4L<\/a><\/p>\n

\"TimTim Tebow could not hold back to Chase Daniel\u2019s comments. ESPN<\/p>\n

The Gamecocks came into the home game as a 2.5-point favorite against the Volunteers. <\/a>Despite the slow start to the season, head coach Shane Beamer\u2019s group pulled off an impressive win over a ranked Florida team in Gainesville last weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe forget about Sandstorm, the home environment. They whipped Florida, all these things. [quarterback] LaNorris Sellers \u2014 to me, you look at how he played two weeks ago in Cocktober. It was good,\u201d Daniel said.<\/p>\n

Sellers\u2019 confidence is rising throughout October, throwing for 505 yards and six touchdowns while completing 60.6 percent of his passes. He also claimed SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors for his 279 passing yards and five total touchdowns against the Gators.<\/p>\n

Although the Gamecocks are 1-1 in the month of October, they are second in the SEC in total offense and ninth in total defense at this point of the season, maybe giving some of Daniel\u2019s play on words some credence.<\/p>\n

\"TheThe SEC Network crew had some fun on Saturday ahead of the South Carolina-Tennessee game. ESPN<\/p>\n

Tennessee entered the Palmetto State with some momentum of its own with a 26-10 home win over No.13 Alabama last week. The Volunteers also bring in freshman quarterback George MacIntyre, who will make his \u201cCocktober\u201d road debut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Daniel, who played 14 seasons in the NFL, kept the game plan simple for South Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can figure out [defensive tackle] Xavier Gilliam up front, if you can block him and get rid of the football early enough\u2026you can absolutely continue Cocktober, going into next weekend at Halloween,\u201d Daniel said.<\/p>\n
