No. 7 Tennessee dispatches UT Martin to remain undefeatedNORMAL, Ill. — UND's season ended Saturday with a 35-13 loss at Illinois State, extending the Fighting Hawks' losing streak to five. Here are five things you might've missed during the game. ADVERTISEMENT 1. Safeties don't play UND starting safeties Jett Sutton and Tyler Erkman suffered injuries last week in a loss to South Dakota and didn't play against Illinois State. The Fighting Hawks started Jonnie Wiltshire and Jy Martin at safety in the regular-season finale. Wiltshire, a junior college transfer, tied a season-high and career-high with 10 tackles against the Redbirds. Martin, a transfer from NCAA Division II West Virginia State, had four tackles, while safety Cole Davis also played extensively and finished with three tackles. 2. Seidl's strong returns UND's Sawyer Seidl made a big impact on special teams. Seidl returned three kicks for 120 yards. Seidl returned the opening kickoff 68 yards, which led to a missed field goal from C.J. Elrichs. ADVERTISEMENT Seidl returned his second kick 37 yards. After Seidl's two long returns, Illinois State kicked the next kickoff out of bounds to give the ball to the Hawks at the 35. 3. Bleggen plays in fourth game UND true freshman Brennen Bleggen played in his fourth game of the season. He'll still be able to redshirt this season as players are allowed four games without burning a redshirt. The 6-foot-3, 295-pound nose guard played extensively. He had two tackles and 0.5 tackles for loss. Bleggen was injured late in the second half and finished the game by wearing a protective boot on his leg on the sideline. 4. Pedigo makes career-high tackles UND fifth-year senior Wyatt Pedigo ended his career with a career-high 15 tackles — the third time in his career he recorded double-digit tackles. In 43 career games across a five-year career, Pedigo had 203 tackles. ADVERTISEMENT Perhaps Pedigo's most impressive tackle of the game came in the open field on Illinois State quarterback Tommy Rittenhouse, who Pedigo secured to the ground for no gain on third-and-8 late in the first half to give UND's offense a chance to take a lead late in the second quarter. 5. Smith plays but run game held in check UND running back Isaiah Smith was hurt in last Saturday's loss to South Dakota and needed to be taken away from the Alerus Center for treatment. Schweigert categorized Smith as questionable earlier in the week. Smith plays against the Redbirds and finished with a team-high 11 carries for 31 yards. The Fighting Hawks were held in check in the rushing game, ending with 131 yards on 31 carries. The Hawks scored no rushing touchdowns and the longest run of the game was an 18-yard carry by Sawyer Seidl, who fumbled on the next play.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- South Carolina coach Shane Beamer has no doubt about where his surging, 16th-ranked Gamecocks belong in the postseason -- chasing a national championship. "It's hard for me to say we're not one of the 12 best teams in the country," a giddy Beamer said Saturday after watching his team pull off another late miracle, courtesy of quarterback LaNorris Sellers , to defeat No. 12 Clemson 17-14. Sellers scored his second touchdown, this one from 20 yards out with 1:08 to play, for South Carolina's sixth straight victory, four of them in that run coming over ranked opponents. Are you paying attention, College Football Playoff selectors? "If the committee's job is to pick the 12 best teams, you tell me," Beamer said. It would be hard to pick against the Gamecocks (9-3, 5-3 SEC; No. 15 CFP) with Sellers, a confident, poised freshman, playing as well as he is. He finished with 166 yards rushing and 164 yards passing. Editor's Picks Saturday Shocker: Michigan shocks No. 2 Ohio State to lead top 2024 upsets 1h ESPN Staff Two games ago, he set career bests with 353 yards passing and five TD throws in twice rallying the Gamecocks from fourth-quarter deficits to defeat Missouri 34-30. This time, Sellers shrugged off his interception near Clemson's goal with less than 11 minutes left to lead his team to a field goal and then his game winner. Sellers spun away from defender Peter Woods in the backfield, broke through the line and cut left to reach the end zone. Sellers hears defenders get angry when they get their hands on but can't bring down the speedy, 6-foot-3 passer in his first year since taking over for Spencer Rattler. How does he do it? "I don't really know," Sellers said. Beamer had an answer to that one, too. "He's a competitor, he's a warrior," Beamer said. "He doesn't get too high or too low. He's out there having fun." The Gamecocks hope to have more fun in a week or so, confident they'll hear their name called among the expanded field of 12 that will play for a national crown. They know, too, they'll have Sellers leading the way. "He's a magician, man," Gamecocks linebacker Demetrius Knight Jr . said. "LeMagic, LeComeback, whatever you want to call him." Clemson (9-3, 7-1 ACC, No. 12) had a final chance and drove to the South Carolina 18 with 16 seconds left -- well within reach of a tying field goal -- when Cade Klubnik was intercepted by Knight to end things. The Gamecocks were 3-3 after losing at Alabama in mid-October and then pulled off their longest winning streak since 2012. The Tigers also were hoping to play their way into the CFP's 12-team field. But their offense had too many costly mistakes and their defense could not corral Sellers. "He's a great player and made great players," Clemson linebacker Barrett Carter said. Still, there could be postseason hope for Clemson, which will cross its fingers and pray Syracuse can pull off an upset over No. 8 Miami later Saturday that would get the Tigers into the Atlantic Coast Conference title game next week against SMU. Both teams came in on highs with the Tigers having won three straight and the Gamecocks five in a row, including three consecutive over ranked opponents Texas A&M, Vanderbilt and Missouri. But neither team found its offensive rhythm in the opening half. Sellers was sacked by T.J. Parker and turned the ball over as Parker recovered with South Carolina inside the Clemson 20. The Tigers drove to the South Carolina 11 and turned down a chip-shot field goal to go for it on fourth-and-1. But Mafah was stopped way short by Jalon Kilgore and Knight. Klubnik had scoring runs of 13 and 18 yards for the Tigers.
