The No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide managed to pull off a 29-22 Week 9 win over the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was a hard-fought win, as the program had to come back from being down eight points in the fourth quarter.
Quarterback LaNorris Sellers recorded a huge touchdown early in the fourth quarter to give South Carolina a 22-14 lead with just 10 minutes remaining in the game. But Alabama found a way to score 15 unanswered points to retake the lead.
The first score came with just over two minutes remaining in the contest off a four-yard pass from quarterback Ty Simpson to wide receiver Germie Bernard. Alabama went for a two-point conversion, which was successful, to tie the game 22-22.
With the game tied, South Carolina had a chance to drive the field and win the game themselves. However, the Alabama defense was able to force a late fumble, stripping Sellers and giving the offense a chance to drive the field and win. The Crimson Tide did just that thanks to a 25-yard touchdown run by Bernard.
