Norman, Okla. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers, South Carolina quarterback, led his team to a 42-25 victory over Oklahoma on Saturday, securing his third consecutive win for the Gamecocks. Sellers threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns, along with 96 rushing yards and two more scores, while the defense held Oklahoma to just 118 yards and 10 points through three quarters.
Sellers connected with DJ Black on an 84-yard touchdown pass and Mazeo Bennett Jr. on a 79-yard strike, contributing to a 35-10 halftime lead. Oklahoma's offense, led by John Mateer, managed a comeback in the fourth quarter, scoring two touchdowns via Mateer's 79-yard and 84-yard passes to Ivan Carreon. Kip Lewis intercepted a pass from Sellers and returned it 30 yards for a score, temporarily tying the game at 7-7.
Despite this defensive highlight, Oklahoma ultimately fell short, falling to 4-4 and 2-3 in conference play. South Carolina, now 5-3 and 3-3 in the Southeastern Conference, will face Texas A&M on Saturday. Oklahoma, now 4-4 and 2-3 overall, will travel to play Florida on Saturday.
