2011: South Carolina 45, Georgia 42

The biggest shootout in the history of the rivalry, the Gamecocks won their second game against Georgia is a row with a pair of touchdowns from defensive lineman Melvin Ingram.

Up 13-7 late in the second quarter, Georgia stopped the Gamecocks on third down to force a punt. But Ingram took a direct snap and ran 68 yards to give the Gamecocks a 14-13 halftime lead.

The second half featured a combined 60 points between both squads. But the biggest was Ingrams fumble recovery for a touchdown after a Jadeveon Clowney sack on Aaron Murray. That put South Carolina ahead 45-35 with only three minutes left.

Georgia scored one more touchdown less than a minute later to cut the lead to 45-42 but they were unable to recover the onside kick and the Gamecocks held on to beat Georgia.

But the Bulldogs got the last laugh. They won out to finish the regular season 10-2 and 7-1 in the SEC. The Gamecocks were beaten by Auburn and Arkansas to finish 10-2 and 6-2 in the SEC. Despite the victory, the Gamecocks sat at home to watch Georgia play in the SEC Championship game.
