(AP) — Nick Marshall ran for three touchdowns and passed for a score and No. 5 Auburn beat South Carolina 42-35 on Saturday night, surviving a scare from the Gamecocks after Steve Spurrier made a succession of gambles that paid off. Auburn burned off four-plus minutes from the clock after the first unsuccessful gamble before the Gamecocks (4-4, 2-4) made a stop at midfield for one more shot. Jonathan Jones made his second interception in the end zone of the fourth quarter on Thompson's last-play heave to preserve the Tigers' SEC and national title hopes. The Gamecocks, 18-point underdogs, converted an onside kick and four fourth-down plays in their own territory. Auburn tied Florida State for the longest active streak with 14 straight home wins.
