South Carolina stunned No. 11 Tennessee 27-24 on Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, with Malik Orsan kicking a 48-yard field goal as time expired to complete a late comeback (NBC Sports, USA Today).
LaNorris Sellers accounted for all three South Carolina touchdowns, throwing for one and running for two, including a four-yard rushing score with 1:17 left that tied the game at 24-24. Sellers finished 18 of 32 passing for 210 yards and ran for 96 yards.
Tennessee had led 24-17 in the fourth quarter after rallying from 14-0 down, but its final drive ended in disaster when Dylan Stewart strip-sacked quarterback George MacIntyre with 33 seconds left and Tomiwa Durojaiye recovered at the Tennessee 34. South Carolina ran the clock down to three seconds before Orsan kicked the winner, and fans rushed the field to celebrate.
The win improved South Carolina to 4-3 overall and 2-3 in the Southeastern Conference, its second straight victory over a ranked opponent after beating Florida two weeks earlier. Tennessee fell to 6-2 and 3-2 in the conference, with MacIntyre completing 16 of 23 passes for 136 yards and DeSean Bishop rushing for 120 yards and a touchdown on 32 carries.
South Carolina will face a $500,000 fine under conference rules after fans stormed the field, according to the Greenville News.
