2014. South Carolina 38, Georgia 35

Or maybe it was less than inches. South Carolina defeated Georgia after converting a fourth down late in the game. When the referees measured for he first down, the ball was barely past the line.

Much like this year, weather delayed the game that year. The delay lasted over an hour because of a thunderstorm, but lightning continued to strike all game by the two offenses.

South Carolina lead 24-13 at halftime behind three touchdown passes from Dylan Thompson. But the Bulldogs outscored the Gamecocks 22-14 in the second half and had a chance to take a lead or tie the game after an interception by Damian Swann put Georgia at the 4-yard line. The sequence afterwards was:

  • First Down: Intentional grounding, Georgia moves back to the 14-yard line
  • Second Down: 3-yard run by Todd Gurley to the 11-yard line
  • Third Down: Pass by Hutson Mason deflected, incomplete
  • Fourth Down: Field goal by Marshall Morgan no-good

South Carolina took over with four minutes left and drove to their own 49-yard line where Georgia forced a fourth-and-inches. Dylan Thompson went for a QB sneak and the officials judged that he advanced the ball passed the line.

They went on to run the rest of the clock out to preserve the win.
