South Carolina defeated Oklahoma 42-25 on Saturday in Norman for its third consecutive win. The Gamecocks improved to 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the Southeastern Conference, whilst Oklahoma fell to 4-4 and 2-3 in conference play.
Quarterback LaNorris Sellers led South Carolina's dominant performance, passing for 301 yards and three touchdowns whilst rushing for 96 yards and two scores. Sellers threw touchdown passes of 84 yards to DJ Black and 79 yards to Mazeo Bennett Jr., both in the first half as South Carolina built a 28-10 halftime lead. South Carolina's defence was particularly effective early, limiting Oklahoma to 118 yards and 10 points through three quarters.
Oklahoma's defence struggled to contain Sellers and the Gamecocks' offence, which accumulated 521 yards of total offense. The Sooners' only early success came when Kip Lewis returned a Sellers interception 30 yards for a touchdown to briefly tie the game at 7-7 in the second quarter. Oklahoma's offence came alive in the fourth quarter, with quarterback John Mateer throwing two scoring passes to Ivan Carreon, but it came too late to change the result.
South Carolina hosts Texas A&M next Saturday, whilst Oklahoma plays at No. 17 Florida.
