LaNorris Sellers plays through ankle injury to lead South Carolina past Texas A&M.

Teammates and staff had to help him to the bench after he crossed the goal line. Sellers had spent the end of the first half in the locker room.

Texas A&M defensive end Sam M'Pemba landed on his left ankle on a strip-sack late in the second quarter, and Sellers was helped to the medical tent and then off the field for X-rays. Shane Beamer said at halftime that the team was concerned, then said the X-rays had come back negative.

"I knew I wanted to be out there and didn't want to sit the rest of the second half knowing we had a chance to win the game, It's just fighting through the pain, honestly." He played the second half with little of the mobility that defines his game, and South Carolina's offense stalled for most of it.
