South Carolina Edges Tennessee 27-24 on Late Field Goal

Tennessee came up just short on the road against South Carolina, losing 27-24 on a field goal in the final seconds. A game that stayed close to the end was decided by that last kick, leaving the Volunteers with a three-point defeat instead of a chance to finish the job themselves.

The result is a painful one for Tennessee because of how narrow the margin was. Losing away from home is difficult enough, but losing when the outcome turns on a single play at the very end adds to the frustration, especially with so little time left for any response.

For the Volunteers, the loss will shape the conversation in the days ahead as they regroup from a winnable road game that slipped away. South Carolina, meanwhile, gets to celebrate a dramatic home win secured at the last possible moment.
