KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee wont have the services of running back Alvin Kamara this week as it attempts to begin a third consecutive late-season surge.Volunteers coach Butch Jones said Monday that an injury would prevent Kamara from playing Saturday at South Carolina (3-4, 1-4 SEC). Jones didnt say what Kamaras injury was but expects the junior to return in the next couple of weeks.As of right now, he does not need surgery and were anticipating him being back here in the next week or two, Jones said. Thats very, very encouraging for us.Kamara, one of four team captains, has rushed for 313 yards and three touchdowns on 64 carries this season. Kamara also has 22 receptions for 260 yards and three touchdowns, and hes averaging 10.2 yards per punt return on 18 attempts.While Kamara wont be available Saturday, the 18th-ranked Vols (5-2, 2-2) also received plenty of good news this week as they seek to end a two-game skid and establish late-season momentum. Tennessee ended last season on a six-game winning streak and won four of its final five games in 2014.Tennessee is returning from a bye week after playing four consecutive ranked opponents, a stretch that included victories over Florida and at Georgia plus losses at Texas A&M and at home against Alabama.Theyre a very talented bunch, South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said. I think they probably had the toughest run that Ive seen in this league in a long time in the four they had to play and where they had to play them.Jones notes that Tennessees remaining opponents are all improving, and there is some evidence to support that contention. Kentucky and Vanderbilt have each won two straight. Kentucky beat Mississippi State on Saturday, one week after Vanderbilt won at Georgia .First the Vols must take care of South Carolina. Although Tennessee is favored by 13 points, the Vols have reason to feel wary.Tennessee was a 17-point favorite against South Carolina last year but eked out a 27-24 victory only after recovering a fumble at its own 13-yard line in the final minute. The last four games in this series have been decided by a total of 11 points.Honestly, in the SEC you expect every game to really come down to the wire, Tennessee receiver Josh Malone said. Thats just the nature of the SEC. Andres Escobar Jersey .
