LaNorris Sellers has three TDs and South Carolina rallies to beat No. 11 Tennessee 27-24
(AP) — LaNorris Sellers accounted for three touchdowns and Malik Orsan nailed a 48-yard field goal as time expired to lift South Carolina past No. 11 Tennessee 27-24 on Saturday night.
LaNorris Sellers had three touchdowns, while Malik Orsan's 48-yard field goal with time winding down secured a 27-24 victory for South Carolina over No. 11 Tennessee on Saturday evening. Sellers led the Gamecocks (4-3, 2-3 SEC) in the final minutes and Tennessee's defense intercepted quarterback George MacIntyre with 33 seconds left, setting up the winning kick.
Sellers threw a touchdown and ran for two others, including the tying score with just under a minute remaining. Moments later, MacIntyre fumbled after being sacked, and defensive tackle Tomiwa Durojaiye recovered at the Tennessee 34-yard line. South Carolina ran the clock down to three seconds before Orsan kicked the winning field goal.
Fans rushed the field to celebrate South Carolina's second consecutive ranked win, following their 30-16 win over Florida two weeks earlier. The Vols, trailing 24-17 with 3:35 left on South Carolina's 39-yard line, opted to attempt a fourth-and-1 play, but MacIntyre was unable to gain the necessary yardage. Sellers capitalized on the turnover in the final moments, rushing for 96 yards and scoring two touchdowns.
Tennessee's DeSean Bishop ran for 130 yards and a touchdown, but it was not enough as the Vols fell to the Gamecocks for the second time at Williams-Brice Stadium.
