South Carolina stuns Tennessee

Sports · Heat 1.9 / 10 · 3 shows · 22m airtime

On October 24, 2026, unranked South Carolina beat No. 11 Tennessee 27-24 on a game-winning field goal as time expired. The line had moved before kickoff, with South Carolina going from a 2.5-point underdog to a 2.5-point favorite. LaNorris Sellers ran for two touchdowns and threw for one, and over his last three games he has 715 passing yards, 275 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns. The discussion weighs whether the win repairs his up-and-down draft stock and looks ahead to a road trip to Oklahoma.
