No one expected South Carolina to have a 30-3 lead over Texas A&M at halftime, much less keep the Week 12 matchup at Kyle Field competitive.
Yet, that’s where we are. Thanks to three first-half takeaways and a pair of LaNorris Sellers touchdown passes, the Gamecocks have a massive lead at the break as they look for a College Football Playoff-altering upset on the road.
After the two teams exchanged field goals, Sellers threw an absolute dime in the direction of Vandrevius Jacobs as the Gamecocks went up 10-3. Then, late in the 1st quarter, they extended their lead to 17-3 on a scoop-and-score TD as Marcel Reed lost the ball a few yards inside his own 20.
Even when things appeared to be going the Aggies’ way, they ultimately didn’t.
Up 20-3 with nearly 3 minutes left, Sellers threw an interception that was taken to the 6-yard line. But a Marcel Reed carry for no gain was followed by a pair of incompletions before Randy Bond’s chipshot field goal rang off the left upright.
Then, after KC Concepcion returned a punt inside the Gamecocks’ 40 following a South Carolina three-and-out, Reed threw an interception into the end zone. On the very next play, Sellers connected with Nyck Harbor, and the lightning-fast wideout did the rest as South Carolina took a 27-3 lead. That margin increased to 30-3 after Reed threw his second INT of the day.
Many will point to the firing of offensive coordinator Mike Shula as a catalyst for the Gamecocks’ sizeable lead. Make no mistake, though: South Carolina has outplayed Texas A&M in all three phases of the game, not just offense. (That’s not to mention reports of a possible contract extension for Mike Elko, either.)
Here’s some of the reaction across social media:
It's 30-3 at halftime for 3-6 South Carolina over No. 3 Texas A&M. Maybe the worst half by a top-three team ever.
