South Carolina Gamecocks Pull off Thrilling Last-Second Victory Over Missouri
In a thrilling matchup between two ranked opponents, the No. 23 South Carolina Gamecocks emerged victorious over the No. 24 Missouri Tigers with a 34-30 win on Saturday night. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers was the hero of the night, throwing a 15-yard touchdown pass to Raheim Sanders with just 15 seconds left on the clock.
Sellers had a career game, throwing five touchdown passes and amassing 353 yards on 21 of 30 pass completions. This win marks the Gamecocks’ third straight victory over a ranked opponent and their fourth consecutive SEC win, a feat not achieved since Steve Spurrier coached the team in 2012.
Despite taking a commanding 21-6 lead in the first half, the Gamecocks found themselves trailing in the fourth quarter after a resilient comeback from the Tigers. However, Sellers rallied his team and orchestrated a game-winning drive, culminating in Sanders’ touchdown to secure the win.
The victory solidifies South Carolina as one of the hottest teams in the SEC, with a record of 7-3 overall and 5-3 in conference play. This historic win marks the first time in program history that the Gamecocks have beaten three consecutive ranked opponents. With momentum on their side, South Carolina looks poised to make a strong finish to the season.
