January 2, 2012

Alshon Jeffery caught four passes for a season-high 148 yards and a touchdown and was named the game MVP as the No. 9 South Carolina Gamecocks rolled to a 30-13 victory over the No. 20 Nebraska Cornhuskers. 

Gamecocks quarterback Connor Shaw threw for 230 yards, including a 51-yard hail mary touchdown pass on the final play of the first half. Nebraska jumped out to an early lead, scoring on a three-play, 46-yard opening drive, but the extra point attempt was blocked and returned for a defensive two-point conversion. 

The victory gave South Carolina a school record 11 wins on the season.
