COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — South Carolina coach Will Muschamp still has some questions about the final seconds at Tennessee, even though the Gamecocks held on for a 15-9 victory on Saturday.

Muschamp said Sunday he's asked the Southeastern Conference to review the final seconds of the game, when the Vols were able to get off two plays from the Gamecocks' 2-yard lin e with four seconds to go.

A pass from Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano was batted down by South Carolina defensive lineman D.J. Wonnum, a play that was ruled to take just three seconds. That let the Vols try one last pass — also incomplete — before time ran out.

It was the Gamecocks' second straight win over Tennessee and moved Muschamp to 6-0 all-time as a head coach against the Vols.

Dowdle fractures bone in left leg

South Carolina running back Rico Dowdle will have surgery on a fractured bone in his left leg and miss an extended part of the remaining season.

Muschamp said Dowdle will have the operation later this week after leaving in the second quarter against Tennessee. Dowdle becomes the latest significant South Carolina player sidelined with an injury.

Wide receiver Deebo Samuel was injured last month and had surgery to repair a broken bone. He's holding out hope to return before the end of the year. Linebacker Bryson Allen-Williams is out for the year after shoulder surgery.

Dowdle was the Gamecocks' top rusher last season. He had gained 206 yards on 60 carries this season.
