Knoxville, TN, October 25, 2026 —
The South Carolina Gamecocks defeated the Tennessee Volunteers 27-24 after a field goal as time expired capped a late sequence that included a game-tying touchdown and a recovered fumble. The result gave Tennessee a home loss.
South Carolina’s touchdown came late in the fourth quarter and tied the game, according to the available account. A fumble was then recovered before the Gamecocks’ final field goal, which decided the contest. The summary does not provide the exact timing of the recovery or field-goal attempt beyond saying the kick came as time expired.
The final score was South Carolina 27, Tennessee 24. No individual player statistics, names, or additional scoring details were provided, so the account does not establish who scored the touchdown or kicked the winning field goal. It also does not specify how the fumble occurred or identify the player who recovered it.
The game’s date and the stadium were not provided. The result is described as a Tennessee home loss, but no further details about the setting or the teams’ records were included. The available information likewise does not describe earlier scoring or the teams’ performance before the late fourth-quarter sequence.
What is clear from the reported sequence is that South Carolina tied the game late, benefited from a recovered fumble, and finished with a field goal at the expiration of time to secure the 27-24 victory. Further details about the play-by-play and participants were not available in the summary.
