LaNorris Sellers has three TDs and South Carolina rallies to beat No. 11 Tennessee 27-24
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers contributed three touchdowns and Malik Orsan made a game-winning 48-yard field goal with just seconds left, as South Carolina edged No. 11 Tennessee 27-24 on Saturday night. Sellers led the Gamecocks (4-3, 2-3 SEC) with a touchdown pass and two rushing scores, including the tying touchdown with just over a minute remaining.
The defense sealed the victory by forcing a crucial fumble from Tennessee quarterback George MacIntyre with 33 seconds left. Orsan's field goal sealed the win after Tennessee took a 24-17 lead. Fans stormed the field in celebration, marking South Carolina's second consecutive ranked victory, following a 35-14 win over Florida two weeks prior.
The Gamecocks looked poised for a spot in the College Football Playoff after holding double-digit leads over their opponents. Tennessee rallied from a 14-0 deficit to lead 24-17, but could not contain Sellers' dynamism in the fourth quarter. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 210 yards and ran for 96 yards on the game's final two touchdowns.
Despite Bishop's 130 rushing yards and a touchdown, Tennessee fell to a second straight home loss to South Carolina.
