COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Jake Bentley threw for two touchdowns, Rico Dowdle ran for 127 yards and another score Saturday night, and South Carolina handed No. 18 Tennessee its third straight loss, 24-21.The Gamecocks (4-4, 2-4 Southeastern Conference) had struggled on offense much of the season and were expected to be a comfortable bounce-back win for the powerhouse Vols (5-3, 2-3) after consecutive defeats to No. 9 Texas A&M and No. 1 Alabama.Instead, South Carolinas defense bottled up the Vols most of the game, holding them under 300 yards of offense for just the second time this year. Joshua Dobbs threw for only 120 yards and was picked off twice by cornerback Jamarcus King, the final time with 3:50 left in the game and Tennessee needing a dramatic rally.Tennessee got a final chance with 35 seconds left and drove to the South Carolina 41. But Aaron Medleys desperation, 58 yard field goal attempt was well short on the final play.This is a spark, linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams said. This is the start of something for the next couple of games and next year.First-year coach Will Muschamp improved to 5-0 all-time against Tennessee, the first four victories coming during his time at Florida.Bentley was again on target in his second college start at quarterback. He threw for 167 yards and completed 15 of 20 passes, including a 17-yard TD throw to Bryan Edwards and a 35-yard scoring toss to K.C. Crosby in the final period to put South Carolina up 24-14.Tennessee could not dig itself out of that hole and ended a three-game win streak against South Carolina.This is unacceptable, Vols coach Butch Jones said. Everybodys going to own this and everybodys responsible.THE TAKEAWAYTennessee: The Vols third straight SEC loss may have been the most devastating of all as they fall two games behind Eastern Division leader Florida with three league games left. Tennessee will have to root for these same Gamecocks in two weeks when they head to The Swamp to face the Gators.South Carolina: No question this is Muschamps biggest victory at South Carolina, and suddenly puts the Gamecocks in line for a bowl game with struggling Missouri and FCS opponent Western Carolina ahead in November.POLL IMPLICATIONSCount on Tennessee falling from the rankings when it comes out. Its one thing to lose to top-10 opponents, its another to lose to a team that entered last in SEC scoring offense.EJECTED GAMECOCKSSouth Carolina lost starting cornerback Chris Lammons and starting safety D.J. Smith to ejections, both for transgressions with Tennessee receiver Jauan Jennings .

Bae played bogey-free Friday on another gorgeous day at Riviera for a 5-under 66, giving him a one-shot lead over Aaron Baddeley and Robert Garrigus going into the weekend. Lewis Hamilton says he felt comfortable enough throughout the Hungarian Grand Prix to manage the pace as he took the lead of the championship with a fifth win of 2016.Hamilton beat teammate Nico Rosberg into Turn 1 and led for the rest of the race, but was asked by Mercedes to pick his pace up during the middle stint as third-placed Daniel Ricciardo closed the gap. He replied to say he was driving as fast as the tyres would allow, and the Mercedes one-two did not come under threat from Red Bull after the second stops.Other than one mistake which brought Nico Rosberg to within DRS range later in the race, the championship leader said he felt comfortable throughout.?There was never a moment when I felt that I was going to lose it, he said. This is a race where you dont need a five or ten second gap. I need to do what I just need to do, even if we win by a tenth of a second. I was just managing that gap of about two seconds. When I needed some time, I put my engine where it needed to be and I kept the time.Asked why he seemed to struggle with his pace, Hamilton said: Compared to practice we knew the temperature was a lot higher. I think the temperature was about 43 degrees, the track temperature, so today was a 53, so its an unknown how long these tyres are going to last. So once I got into the lead I was able to manage my tyres, my car, and manage the gap, and react only when I needed to.For sure the backmarkers caused a bit of troublle towards the end.dddddddddddd. Generally I was able to keep the buffer. There was one moment ... I thought all race I hadnt made a mistake and then I locked up my wheels and went slightly wide and Nico all of a sudden on my tail. Wasnt an exciting moment but then got my head down and increased that lead.Hamilton thinks his getaway was crucial to the victory.The start was everything, I got a good start. I mean I had... One of the Red Bulls was on the inside of me so I was pressured quite a lot into Turn 1 but the team did a fantastic job with the strategy, preparing the car as always, the guys back at the factory continuing to push flat out. A huge thank-you to them.The victory was Hamiltons fifth in Hungary, moving him past the previous record of four he shared with Michael Schumacher. The Briton admitted it was a special statement to hear.Its truly incredible to hear those words, especially as I grew up watching Michael -- to know I had one more than he had here is just incredible. I would only be able to do it with the great people I work with at Mercedes, its the result of great work from a great group of people.Im really grateful for it -- I love it here and I hope theres more to come. It wasnt the easiest grand prix Ive had here but definitely one I enjoyed, a great tussle between the three of us. ' ' '
