COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina winning at home against Louisiana Tech isn’t something most would have considered improbable. It’s how the Gamecocks pulled it off, though, that was.

With four seconds left, true freshman Parker White converted a 31-yard field goal to help the Gamecocks escape with a 17-16 win.

South Carolina got into position for the field goal after quarterback Jake Bentley scrambled for 24 yards on a third-and-10 play, then completed a 41-yard pass to Bryan Edwards to Louisiana Tech’s 14.

The Gamecocks entered the fourth quarter down 13-0.

“Getting in the fourth quarter and winning it, our guys are making plays and having confidence,” coach Will Muschamp said.
