The Alabama Crimson Tide were back in action for the first time since the program's disappointing loss at Vanderbilt in Week 6, hosting the South Carolina Gamecocks in SEC action Saturday afternoon.

The South Carolina football team almost had their season take a huge turn on Saturday. The Gamecocks were dangerously close to knocking off the Alabama Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, but in the end, Shane Beamer’s team couldn’t pull off the upset despite outplaying the No.

South Carolina took the lead over No. 7 Alabama with a one-yard rushing touchdown by Raheim “Rocket” Sanders on the second half’s opening possession. The scoring drive spanned 16 plays, 85 yards and lasted eight minutes and 35 seconds. It also marked 19 unanswered points by the Gamecocks’ offense.
