Getting Robbed Against LSU:
This game might be remembered as the cliche “one that got away” of the South Carolina 2024 season. After dominating early, the game took a turn after Lanoris Sellers was injured after being sacked at the end of the first half. He did not return to the game. Without Sellers, the offense became stagnant and could not establish any momentum after backup QB Robbie Ashford took over. The only offensive TD of the half came from an explosive 66-yard touchdown from Rocket Sanders. Despite the offensive sputters, the Gamecocks still seemingly sealed the game after a huge pick-six from standout defensive back Nick Emmanwori. Instead of furthering their lead to 40-29 and potentially putting the nail in the coffin with under six minutes left to play, the officials brought the TD back after calling an egregious roughing the pass flag was thrown against Kyle Kennard. Kennard shoved LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier as he was pursuing the return. The questionable flag took every bit of momentum that could have led the Gamecocks to victory. The Gamecock offense did not produce another point and the Tigers came out victorious 36-33 after South Carolina kicker Alex Herrera missed a game-tying attempt that would have sent the game to overtime. Had the officials not thrown the controversial flag, the story of the 2024 South Carolina Gamecocks could’ve had a much different ending.
