NORMAN, Okla. — LaNorris Sellers threw for 301 yards and three touchdowns and ran for two more scores as South Carolina beat Oklahoma 42–25 on Saturday night.
The Gamecocks turned a 7–7 tie into a 28–10 halftime lead with three consecutive scoring drives. Sellers connected with DJ Black for an 84-yard touchdown and found Mazeo Bennett Jr. for a 79-yard score as South Carolina repeatedly created explosive plays.
Oklahoma linebacker Kip Lewis briefly pulled the Sooners even early in the second quarter with a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown. South Carolina answered quickly and did not trail.
Sellers added 96 rushing yards, helping the Gamecocks finish with 521 yards of offense. Oklahoma’s official game recap listed 359 yards for the Sooners. Bennett led South Carolina with 107 receiving yards.
The Gamecocks extended their advantage to 35–10 in the third quarter. Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer threw two fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Ivan Carreon, but the comeback did not threaten South Carolina’s lead.
South Carolina improved to 5–3 overall and 3–3 in the Southeastern Conference with its third consecutive victory. Oklahoma fell to 4–4 and 2–3.
The Gamecocks have now won both of their visits to Norman since Oklahoma joined the SEC. South Carolina is scheduled to host Texas A&M next, while Oklahoma travels to Missouri.
