Mackenzi Adams threw two touchdown passes and D.J. Moore had two key interceptions as Vanderbilt upset No. 6 South Carolina 17-6 today, ending Spurrier's unblemished record against the school that began in 1987.

Spurrier came into this 14-0 all-time vs. the Commodores (4-3, 2-3 Southeastern Conference) and, with the Gamecocks (6-2, 3-2) ranked as high as they'd been since 1984, seemed a strong bet to keep that streak alive.

Instead, Vanderbilt took a 17-0 lead in the first quarter and held off Spurrier's club the rest of the way.

Vanderbilt's players rushed to the small section of Commodore fans when the game ended, jumping and pumping their fists in celebration.

And why not? The Commodores hadn't beaten a team ranked this highly since topping No. 6 LSU, 7-6, in 1937.

Vanderbilt had lost seven straight to South Carolina since last winning in 1999.

Spurrier was 2-0 against the Commodores at Duke, then continued the winning at Florida (10-0) and South Carolina (2-0).

Earlier this season, Spurrier had run his streak over Kentucky to 15-0, but the Gamecocks couldn't extend this one.

Vanderbilt had Georgia on the ropes a week ago before a field goal at the end gave the Bulldogs a 20-17 victory. This time, the Commodores hung on despite everything Spurrier threw at them.

Chris Smelly drove the Gamecocks 63 yards to the Andy 13, but Moore stepped in front of a pass in the end zone to stop the series.

Backup quarterback Blake Mitchell bounced a throw short on fourth-and-5. A series later, Mitchell's pass was picked off by linebacker Jonathan Goof with 11:05 remaining.

South Carolina had another chance to close in when Adams fumbled with 8 minutes left and Eric Norway recovered. Linebacker Marcus Bugs and defensive end Curtis Gated sacked Mitchell on consecutive downs to end the threat.

Vanderbilt managed only 201 yards, but that was more than enough as the Gamecocks gained only 195.

Smelly was 12 of 20 for 145 yards and two interceptions, while Mitchell was 3 of 8 for 19 yards.

Moore got things going for Vanderbilt early on. His first interception set up Bryan Hahnfeldt's 32-yard field goal.

One play later, Ryan Hamilton picked up Cory Boyd's fumble to put the Commodores in position again. Adams found George Smith for a 22-yard touchdown.

Vanderbilt kept up the first-quarter pressure. Two-series later, Adams had runs of 19 and 4 yards, then closed the drive with his second TD pass, a 20-yard toss to Justin Wheeler.

The Commodores were up 17-0, stunning most of the 79,212 at Williams-Brice Stadium.
