Get that trick-or-treating done early.

The moon and the television spotlight will both be on Tennessee next weekend.

After blitzing Georgia before the bye week to help repair their reputation, the Vols will follow up Saturday's nationally televised trip to No. 1 Alabama with a primetime date at home against No. 23 South Carolina on Halloween on ESPN at 7:45 p.m.

The Gamecocks held their own against the Crimson Tide last weekend before fading in the fourth quarter, though the hard-hitting slugfest helped push Alabama up to the top spot in The Associated Press poll ahead of Florida. That will give the rested Vols a second crack at No. 1 this season before wrapping up a sort of regional round-robin with the Gamecocks next week.
