This was just the third meeting between the teams since the 2010 season. South Carolina won the 2010 meeting with a 35-21 score on October 9th, 2010.
The Gamecocks had a shot in the game until the very end. South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers was picked off by Domani Jackson with 13 seconds left.
Alabama then ran out the clock for the win.
South Carolina was down two points and attempted an onside kick after scoring a touchdown late. Alabama was not able to recover the ball, despite having two players touch the ball.
The Gamecocks recovered the ball. Yet, it then led to the Sellers interception on the late drive.
South Carolina believed that they had scored a touchdown that led to the onside kick. Sellers hit Nyck Harbor for a 31-yard touchdown reception.
The broadcast team said that they initially believed that Harbor was out of bounds. The replay showed that Harbor was in bounds and it was a touchdown.
Following the score, the Gamecocks failed to convert the two-point conversion.
