    Struggling against Mississippi State's defense all afternoon, South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier finally found an indefensible play.

    Sophomore quarterback Connor Shaw lofted a 4-yard touchdown pass to Alshon Jeffery, who stretched his 6-foot-4 frame over two Mississippi State defenders for the game-winning touchdown.

    When the three players jumped for the ball, Jeffery was simply the tallest and best athlete, plucking the ball from the sky with 3:50 remaining in the fourth quarter to lead No. 15 South Carolina to a hard-fought 14-12 victory over Mississippi State.
