Texas A&M is, improbably, 10-0.
The No. 3 Aggies came back from a 30-3 halftime deficit to beat South Carolina 31-30 on Saturday. And it took A&M less than 20 minutes to erase that lead too.
RB E.J. Smith scored the go-ahead TD with 10:47 remaining as the Aggies scored touchdowns on the first four of their drives in the second half. As Texas A&M was rolling, South Carolina couldn’t move the ball. The Gamecocks had 53 yards on their first five drives of the second half.
Yet South Carolina had a chance to steal the win back after this trick play near the goal line resulted in a fumble.

However, the Aggies’ defense didn’t let South Carolina across midfield before the Gamecocks turned the ball over on downs. LaNorris Sellers took a sack needing just one yard on second down before he was sacked again on third down and then decided to run the ball for little gain on fourth down.
In case you’re wondering, the Aggies’ comeback is still eight points short of the FBS record for biggest comeback win. Michigan State overcame a 38-3 Northwestern lead with 9:54 left in the third quarter to win 41-38 in 2006. It is the biggest comeback in school history, though.
The Aggies simply marched down the field on those second-half touchdown drives too. Smith’s TD was the 10th play of a 99-yard drive after South Carolina had pinned a punt inside the Texas A&M 1-yard line.
On the three previous drives, the Aggies went 225 total yards in just 17 plays. All three of them ended in passing touchdowns from QB Marcel Reed after Reed had a horrible first half.
Reed was picked off twice in the first 30 minutes and, no joke, could have thrown a half-dozen interceptions. He got away with numerous throws that bounced off South Carolina defenders hands and fell to the ground.
South Carolina also returned a fumble for a touchdown and had a 50-yard passing TD over the first two quarters. As Reed struggled, kicker Randy Bond missed two field goals too. His second miss — from just 24 yards away — came after Texas A&M’s Dalton Brooks had returned an interception inside the South Carolina 10-yard line.
