Mistakes scuttle Georgia's upset bid

ATHENS, Ga. -- No. 12 South Carolina scored twice off turnovers, including defensive end Melvin Ingram's second touchdown with 3:12 remaining and held on to beat error-prone Georgia, 45-42, yesterday, giving embattled coach Mark Richt another galling loss.

South Carolina (2-0, 1-0 SEC) set up another touchdown with a long fumble return, and the 276-pound Ingram scored his first career TD on a 68-yard run with a fake punt. Georgia (0-2, 0-1) got four touchdown passes from Aaron Murray.

SC's Antonio Allen returned an interception 25 yards for a TD in the third quarter.

After Marcus Lattimore (27 carries, 176 yards) put the Gamecocks back ahead 38-35 on a 3-yard run with 31/2 minutes left, one more mistake doomed the Bulldogs. Freshman Jadeveon Clowney burst through the line without being blocked and sacked Murray, who lost the ball before slamming the ground. Ingram batted it toward the end zone and picked it up there for an improbable two-touchdown performance by the fifth-year senior.

Georgia piled up plenty of yards, with Murray throwing for 248 and freshman Isaiah Crowell rushing for 118. But the Gamecocks got TDs out of all three turnovers by the home team, which lost in Week 1, 35-21 to No. 4 Boise State.-- AP
