Alabama was able to hold off South Carolina 27-25 with an interception after allowing the Gamecocks a chance at handing the Tide its second straight SEC loss by botching an onside-kick recovery before the game’s final drive.

Alabama football is back in Bryant-Denny Stadium against South Carolina on Saturday morning after a disappointing loss at Vanderbilt. The Crimson Tide will be without at least two players as Yhonzae Pierre and Kobe Prentice were officially ruled out on the pre-game SEC availability report. Kendrick Law is a game-time decision against the Gamecocks.

South Carolina took the lead over No. 7 Alabama with a one-yard rushing touchdown by Raheim “Rocket” Sanders on the second half’s opening possession. The scoring drive spanned 16 plays, 85 yards and lasted eight minutes and 35 seconds. It also marked 19 unanswered points by the Gamecocks’ offense.
