One of the most improbable comebacks in South Carolina’s collective memory averted one of the most embarrassing losses in school history.
The Gamecocks trailed 16-14 with 30 seconds left but got a 24-yard scramble from Jake Bentley and then a bouncing 41-yard completion to Bryan Edwards with seven seconds left to set up Parker White for the game-winning field goal. White had already missed two on the day and was 0-for-4 in his collegiate career until the 31-yarder sailed through to give South Carolina a 17-16 win.
A Jamarcus King interception in the third quarter set up the Gamecocks at their own 3-yard line and sparked the comeback.
