The South Carolina Gamecocks got the bounce-back game they needed and kept their hopes for the season alive, outlasting the visiting Missouri Tigers for a 37-35 victory in a wet and wild edition of the Battle of Columbias on Saturday.
The game got off to a shaky start, as the Gamecocks went immediately three-and-out with new starting quarterback Michael Scarnecchia, who took the reins for an injured Jake Bentley. Missouri was quick to respond in just 1 minute and 12 seconds with a 45-yard strike to Jalen Knox, which set up Larry Rountree touchdown from the 1-yard line.
