Playing on its home field, South Carolina had taken an impressive 21-6 halftime lead over Missouri and seemed to have things under control. But apparently somebody forgot to inform the Tigers and with just over a minute to play, the visitors had taken the lead.
Tigers quarterback Brady Cook had thrown a 37-yard catch-and-run to Luther Burden III with just 1:10 to go to take a 30-27 lead. The Gamecocks offense and its freshman quarterback LaNorris Sellers had only a minute for a miraculous scoring drive to avoid the loss.
Pressure … no problem.
Sellers drove his team inside the red zone, then tossed a Utah pass to former Arkansas running back “Rocket” Sanders who carried it for the 34-30 final margin.
Sanders’ scoring catch has been chosen as the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
For the game, Sanders caught three passes for 21 yards, including the winning touchdown. He also ran for 53 yards.
Sellers completed 21 of 30 passes for 353 yards and five touchdowns. He also ran for 45 yards, giving him 398 yards total offense.
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
