South Carolina never made it easy on their fans, but even after trailing for 55 minutes and 59 seconds the Gamecocks found the most unlikely of ways to escape being embarrassed by Louisiana Tech.
Parker White, the kicker who missed the first four field goal attempts in a Gamecock uniform, nailed a 31-yarder after being iced twice by LA Tech to give South Carolina a 17-16 lead and go ahead win. This was by no means what the team needed after the loss to Kentucky, but at the end of the day South Carolina avoided a loss to a G-5 team.
