For the second time this season, South Carolina took a SEC opponent at their place to the fourth quarter with a chance to win, but just as at Missouri, the Gamecocks made too many mistakes they could not overcome and were sent packing with a 20-10 defeat at LSU Saturday night.

The Gamecocks committed 13 penalties, many of them of the pre-snap variety. They gave up five sacks and had two turnovers.

LSU led 10-7 at the half. USC tied the game with a third quarter field goal. That would be the extent of their second half points. Their final four possessions ended with two punts and two turnovers on downs.

The Tigers went ahead for good on a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter, and added a field goal in the final two minutes to clinch their ninth straight win over the Gamecocks.
