SEC Media Days is usually a good time for players and coaches to look forward to the season ahead while talking about what fans should expect. <\/p>\n
But for the South Carolina Gamecocks, Tuesday’s media appearance in Tampa featured a harsh reminder about their historical loss to the Texas A&M Aggies last season. <\/p>\n
Texas A&M trailed 30-3 at halftime before storming back to secure a 31-30 win, the largest comeback in program history. Both South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer and quarterback LaNorris Sellers were asked about that game on Tuesday, but had very different reactions.<\/p>\n
Shane Beamer Doesn’t Want to Talk About Texas A&M Loss<\/p>\n
When asked to reflect on the game, Beamer made it clear he would rather focus on something else.<\/p>\n
“Can we not?” Beamer said.<\/p>\n
As for Sellers, he gave the typical quarterback-esque answer when asked about that game. <\/p>\n
“I think we just kind of stalled,” Sellers said. “I think we just need to keep attacking, more or less. I won’t say we took the foot off the gas, but we just need to finish in those situations. A lot of games last year that we didn’t finish in the fourth quarter. That was one of them. So we can pick that up for this year. … They stayed on us the whole game, just like every other defense we play. Super ferocious, physical, and communicated well. So I think we just kind of stalled. I think we just need to keep attacking.”<\/p>\n
To say that South Carolina stalled might be an understatement, but the Aggies deserve a ton of credit as well. <\/p>\n
Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed bounced back from an ugly first half before finishing 22 of 39 for a career-high 439 yards, three touchdowns and two picks. <\/p>\n
The pass-heavy game script helped lead to Reed’s career day, but he could have just folded after halftime instead of staying of aggressive. <\/p>\n
Unfortunately for the Aggies, Reed’s first-half performance was a sign of things to come. He would go on to throw four total interceptions in Texas A&M’s final two games, which were losses to Texas and Miami. <\/p>\n
He will need to play a complete game against South Carolina this time around. The Gamecocks will be seeking revenge when the Aggies come to Columbia on Nov. 7.<\/p>\n
