Nyck Harbor and South Carolina are putting it on Texas A&M in College Station in the first half. Not everyone is happy about it though, especially not the Aggies law enforcement.

Check out the video below where a law enforcement official on the field level bumped Harbor after he scored a touchdown and ran into the tunnel, giving the Gamecocks a 24-point lead before halftime.

Karma wasn’t kind to Texas A&M afterwards. Quarterback Marcel Reed threw another interception, and South Carolina added another three points. Heading into halftime, they lead by 27 points — a disheartening result for the College Football Playoff hopeful Aggies.

Moreover, South Carolina entered this week’s clash in a tailspin, having lost four consecutive games, most recently falling 30-14 to Ole Miss. However, they had a bye last week after their Week 10 loss to the Rebels.

During their time off, the Gamecocks fired head coach Mike Shula. Gamecocks wide receivers coach Mike Furrey debuted as South Carolina’s interim offensive coordinator on Saturday, and he’s off to an incredible start.

Texas A&M’s defense only allowed 317.3 yards of offense per game heading into this one, and the Aggies know how to put up points in a hurry, as well. They came into this one averaging 37.8 points per outing.

For reference, South Carolina is barely averaging half that number. That’s part of why this first half in College Station was such a shock.

Nobody was giving them a chance, not even SEC analyst Greg McElroy. He predicted a three-touchdown loss earlier this week: “South Carolina’s only hope, I think, is with the new offensive coordinator, Mike Furrey,” McElroy said. “He’s got to create some positive chaos. It needs to be some change ups, because A&M, they might be preparing for a bit of an unknown.

“… I also think they need some short fields if they’re going to manufacture points against the Aggies. I think A&M is just way too complete and good on defense to get beat. The only way they get beat is if they beat themselves. Give me the Aggies by 21 points or more.”

In fairness, the Aggies entered this one 9-0, coming off a dominant 38-17 win over Missouri. So far, it feels like the old “Any Given Saturday” adage is coming true. You just never know. We’ll see if Mike Elko can cook up a comeback in the second half.
