Alabama football: Crimson Tide cold cocked by South Carolina

COLUMBIA, S.C.: Eye glass with hands on hips, Greg McElroy shook his head in the marker in the distance:

Carolina South 35, 21 Alabama.

A few minutes later, he dodged bullets, as he ran to the locker room with a knot in his gut.

Blinks Fast index finger your hecklers, McElroy knew their Crimson Tide will not be not.1 for much longer.

Not since the magic finally ran out in Alabama.

Living dangerously in his second consecutive SEC game road, tide (5-1, 2-1 SEC) could not find answers as the sun set in an evening of wonderful autumn and Alabama from fired another perfect season.

A team of South Carolina rested led almost all avoid the pitfalls and wild to become the first opponent at hand a loss in 19 games in general Alabama momentum swings and 29 in the regular season game.

"We must be able to punch them in the first round," said coach Nick Saban tidal."Not be them counterpunch and think that it will always be able volver.Atrapados with us today.""South Carolina defeated nosotros.No perdemos.Out-executed best nosotros.Jugaron we play with more intensity."

Leaving a week bye preceded by a loss of bite in Auburn, the most prestigious 19th Gamecocks (4-1, 2-1) struck early in a scene reminiscent of two recent Conference Strait escapes Alabama Auburn last year and Arkansas two weeks ago.Falling behind 21-3 for the moment of the opening of the second quarter, Alabama made its offer to pull another Houdini.

A failed theatre and a sack play later, Alabama were lined up for what would have been a 43-yard field goal, but an unsuccessful attempt faux finished with pass holder AJ McCarron bounce out of the hands of linebacker Ed Stinson.

It was all downhill from there by the tide.

Receiver Gamecocks Alshon Jeffery, who Saban praised all week, stranded in the last of their master seven traps in a pass well championed by Dre Kirkpatrick.La work established third touchdown from Marcus Lattimore day 7: 01 42 yards to play.

""We probably don't do a good call on counterfeiting,"said Saban.""That was just on the edge of the (Jeremy) Shelley.Les rank gave the momentum of the game back."

For a set that included only a change of lead, there were several wild emotional swings.

Turnovers and works of botched extraordinario-equipos were a factor, but none was large enough as to shovel Alabama hole 18 points just dug 15 minutes in the game.

"I think that this would be," said head coach Steve Spurrier, who is now second in the SEC WINS Bear Bryant's behind South Carolina (107 to 159). «»«I have used a line this week I've ever used in my life, but our basketball team already beat No. 1 (computer) and our baseball team had done, I said.»"Fellas, if destination means for us win this game on Saturday and then let's give him a chance.'"
