South Carolina football needed a late boost before the half. The Gamecocks got it from its star player.
Down 14-3 to Tennessee with less than a minute left in the second quarter, USC had the ball on the Volunteers’ three-yard line when quarterback Jake Bentley dropped back for just his 13th passing attempt of the game. As the pocket collapsed around him, Bentley scrambled to his left and avoided the sack, then threw a high lofted pass to the corner of the end zone.
Senior wide receiver Deebo Samuel was there and somehow hauled the pass in with one hand for the touchdown.
