First Quarter


The game began with both teams testing each other's defenses. The Oklahoma Sooners managed to break through first, scoring 7 points and setting an early tone. The South Carolina defense struggled to contain the Sooner's offense, allowing them to capitalize on their opportunities.


Second Quarter


In response, the Cocks found some rhythm in their passing game. LaNorris Sellers connected for a touchdown pass that brought them level at 7-7 by halftime. Sellers completed 17 out of his 25 attempts for a total of 124 yards and one touchdown during this period.


Third Quarter


After halftime adjustments, the Boomer Sooners came back strong in the third quarter. They added another ten points through strategic plays and solid execution on both sides of the ball. The Gamecocks' defense was tested repeatedly but managed only one sack by Bryan Thomas Jr., who also recorded two tackles.


Fourth Quarter


As fatigue set in during the fourth quarter, South Carolina's offense struggled against an unyielding Sooner defense that allowed no further scoring from their opponents while adding two more points themselves through safety plays.


Despite efforts from players like Nyck Harbor who caught four passes for twenty-two yards including one touchdown reception or Rahsul Faison rushing fifty yards over ten attempts – it wasn't enough against such formidable opposition as seen throughout these quarters where turnovers proved costly too often leading directly into advantageous positions favoring Oklahoma’s side ultimately resulting into what became known now famously today: "game-changing plays South Carolina Gamecocks vs Oklahoma Sooners."
