No. 4 Alabama rallies to edge South Carolina 29-22 in SEC thriller

In a closely contested game, No. 4 Alabama rallied to a 29-22 victory over South Carolina, overcoming an eight-point deficit in the final 10 minutes. Alabama's Germie Bernard scored two crucial touchdowns in the last 2 1/2 minutes, including a 25-yard touchdown run from a wildcat formation after a key fumble recovery forced by the Tide defense. South Carolina's quarterback LaNorris Sellers struggled late, fumbling with under two minutes left while attempting a game-winning drive, which Alabama capitalized on to secure the win. Despite Sellers' overall strong performance with 222 passing yards and 67 rushing yards, turnovers and penalties hampered South Carolina's efforts. Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson threw for 253 yards and two touchdowns, leading a 79-yard, 14-play game-tying drive and converting a two-point play to send the game into a decisive final sequence. The win extends Alabama's streak to seven straight and highlights their resilience on the road and ability to execute in clutch moments under Coach Kalen DeBoer.
