South Carolina Upsets Tennessee on a Field Goal at the Very End

Tennessee suffered a brutal upset loss to South Carolina, with the game decided by a last-second field goal from the Gamecocks. A contest the Volunteers were positioned to win instead ended in the final moments, as South Carolina converted when it mattered most to seal the result.

The manner of the defeat is what makes it sting. Losing on the final kick leaves no time to answer, and it turns a game that was within Tennessee's reach into a loss that will be remembered for how close it was at the end.

For Tennessee, the result is a setback that will require a quick regroup. An upset decided on the last play offers little consolation, and the Volunteers will have to move forward knowing this was an opportunity that slipped away in the closing seconds.
