South Carolina scored 10 points in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter Saturday to stun Tennessee on a last-second field goal and secure a 27-24 victory.

LaNorris Sellers bullied his way into the end zone for an incredible touchdown to tie the game at 24-24, which set the stage for the incredible finish.

Tennessee's ensuing drive ended in disaster when pass-rusher Dylan Stewart strip-sacked George MacIntyre, putting South Carolina in field-goal range.

After Sellers scrambled to put the Gamecocks deeper into Tennessee territory, kicker Malik Orsan supplied the winning moment on a 48-yard field goal.

Sellers continued his solid stretch of play Saturday, racking up 306 total yards and three touchdowns in the contest. He's now posted 10 touchdowns over his last three games.

As questions about Shane Beamer's job security began to swirl, South Carolina proceeded to win back-to-back games against ranked opponents. The Gamecocks are now 4-3 on the season and 2-3 in SEC play.

The Volunteers saw their three-game win streak snapped. McIntyre, who made his third straight start Saturday, completed 16 of 23 passes for just 136 yards and finished with a quarterback rating of 18.6.

Tennessee will look to bounce back against Kentucky on Nov. 7 after its bye week, while South Carolina will head to Oklahoma to face the Sooners next Saturday.
