LaNorris Sellers leads South Carolina past Oklahoma 42-25 for a third straight

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) --- LaNorris Sellers passed for 301 yards and three
touchdowns, and South Carolina's defense limited Oklahoma to 118 yards and 10
points through three quarters of a 42-25 win on Saturday.
Sellers, who also ran for 96 yards and two scores, threw touchdown passes of 84
yards to DJ Black and 79 yards to Mazeo Bennett Jr. to help South Carolina
(5-3, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) build a 35-10 lead on the way to its third
straight win.
The offense came to life for Oklahoma (4-4, 2-3) in the fourth quarter, with
John Mateer throwing a pair of scoring passes to Ivan Carreon to help the
Sooners cut into the lead.
Kip Lewis returned a Sellers interception 30 yards for a score to pull Oklahoma
even at 7-7 early in the second quarter. It was the third pick-6 of Lewis'
career, but one of the few things Oklahoma's defense did right all game.
It was all Sellers and South Carolina after that. He led the Gamecocks on three
successive scoring drives --- two covering 75 yards --- and the lead ballooned
to 28-10 at halftime. Mateer and the Sooners were booed as they ran off the
field.
The takeaway South Carolina: The Gamecocks have Oklahoma's number in Norman, outscoring the Sooners 77-34 in two games played at Gaylord Family --- Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. Oklahoma: The Sooners' defense, among the best in the country coming in, couldn't contain Sellers or the Gamecocks, who rolled up 521 yards of total offense.
Up next South Carolina: Hosts Texas A&M on Saturday. Oklahoma: Plays at No. 17 Florida on Saturday. ___ Sign up for Top 25 poll alerts here, visit the Top 25 here and see AP's full college football coverage here
