GALLERY – Gamecocks defeat Missouri in stunning fashion

COLUMBIA, SC — The University of South Carolina Gamecocks scored a thrilling game winning touchdown in the final seconds of Saturday’s game against the University of Missouri Tigers to go up 34-30. With 15 seconds left on the clock, LaNorris Sellers threw a 15-yard touchdown strike to Raheim “Rocket” Sanders for the go ahead score. The win moves the Gamecocks into 19th on the latest AP poll and it’s the fourth consecutive victory for the Gamecocks over Southeastern Conference foes. This is also the team’s third victory of the season over ranked opponents.

“We’re fortunate that we had three time outs so we had some flexibility,” Coach Shane Beamer said after the game. “Once we hit the pass – who was that, Camp [Dalevon Campbell] – that got us down there, we were in the red zone. We weren’t playing for overtime, but we also wanted to be smart. So, Dowell [Loggains] and I were talking on the headphones, and Dowell said, ‘Hey, are you good if we try and pop a run in here?’ And I was like, ‘Heck, yeah.’ I mean, we’ve got time for plenty of plays right here because of our time out situation. So we were going to call a run, and if we didn’t get it, I was going to call time out immediately. I guess we did have a run before that; I think I called the first [timeout]. We had two more. We’re going to pop another one in there. It worked out the way we the way we thought, … and it’s great way to finish.”
