South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers has a legacy game against Clemson in which he literally carried the team, or at least a team, on his back for the win. The way Sellers was able to break tackles left and right against the Tigers was something that fans will be talking about for years to come and, especially for the rest of his career at South Carolina.

Sellers earned quite a few honors for his play against Clemson including SEC Co-Offensive Player of the Week, even some Heisman hype, and another "sweet" reward.

Florida Citrus Sports and Pop-Tarts have teamed up this season to present the Pop-Tarts "Crazy Good" Play of the Week every week to one special made throughout the weekend. Well, this week, Sellers was chosen for his amazing touchdown run in the final minutes of the Palmetto Bowel to put the Gamecocks on top of the Tigers late in the game.

Sellers has truly played his best football late in the season and has been a big reason for South Carolina's six-game win streak. He led the team on two game-winning drives late against Missouri and Clemson and let the defense clean it up in the final seconds of the game.

The young redshirt freshman has played so well that people are garnering for him to be in the Heisman conversation with the historic month he has had to end the regular season. Will it happen? Probably not, but he has certainly shined a light of himself and South Carolina football for the future and made a lot of people scared going forward.

Right now, all that is probably on Sellers' mind is getting into the College Football Playoff, which the Gamecocks have a chance to do if the committee feels they have done enough. Their resume more than speaks for itself, but it wouldn't be the first time the committee has snubbed a team that should have been in.
