Late fumble preserves Vols' 27-24 win over South Carolina

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee coach Butch Jones wasn't complaining even after his team allowed a 17-point lead to turn into a narrow escape. Jalen Reeves-Maybin recovered a fumble deep in Tennessee territory with 32 seconds remaining Saturday to preserve the Volunteers' 27-24 triumph over South Carolina. Aaron Medley 's 27-yard field goal with 9:14 left broke a 24-all tie after Tennessee squandered a 17-0 advantage to continue a season-long pattern. "I'm never going to apologize for winning," Jones said. "This is a hard-fought game. We're playing a good football team. I give South Carolina all the credit in the world. ... They're going to have success. We're still building. I'm proud of our players. I'm proud of our program.
