It was a tough day, which extended a string of tough weeks for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Though they did find a way to hold on and beat a game University of Tennesse 38-35.
South Carolina, once a Top 3 team, had to run a gauntlet of Georgia, LSU and Florida before this game. They won 2 of the 3.
They'll finish the season without star tailback Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore who missed last season after a serious left ACL injury, was carted off the field and taken to the hospital in the 2nd quarter after a gruesome injury to his right knee. He had run for 70 yds and a TD when it happened
Thanks for the video ESPN:
The Volunteers fought hard, Tyler Bray threw for 368 yds and 4 TD's, but Connor Shaw had 356 and 3 scores.
Check out Bray to receiver Zach Rogers for a 4th Quarter TD.
Thanks again ESPN:
In the end South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney forced a late Tennessee fumble and the Gamecocks move to 5-2 in the SEC. Tennessee with apparent lame duck coach Derek Dooley, drops to 0-5 in the conference and 3-5 overall.
PM UPDATE: Lattimore's news is not good...
From Brian van Ochten's Twitter...
The news on South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore is awful: Broken femur and all four knee ligaments torn.
Payne Insider is also reporting on his Twitter feed that Lattimore's knee cap is also chipped to go with the ligament and bone damage...
The University is scheduled to give the official update Sunday...
