It’s the biggest comeback in school history, eclipsing a 21-point rally by a Johnny Manziel-led team in a 52-48 win in the 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl over Duke. Entering Saturday, teams were 0-286 in Southeastern Conference play since 2004 when trailing by 27 points or more.<\/p>\n
Reed bounced back from an awful first half where he was intercepted twice and had a fumble returned for a score to put the Aggies in a 30-3 hole with a dazzling second half to keep Texas A&M (10-0, 7-0) on track for its first trip to the College Football Playoff and SEC title game appearance.<\/p>\n
Editor’s Picks The Aggies took the lead for the first time on a 4-yard run by EJ Smith<\/a> with about 11 minutes left.<\/p>\n Texas A&M had a first down at the 1 after that, but Jamarion Morrow<\/a> fumbled on a trick play and the Gamecocks recovered with about three minutes to go.<\/p>\n Dalton Brooks<\/a> and Cashius Howell<\/a> sacked LaNorris Sellers<\/a> on consecutive plays to bring up fourth-and-16 with about 90 seconds to go. Sellers scrambled on fourth down and he was stopped short of the first down marker to seal the victory.<\/p>\n Sellers threw for 246 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for South Carolina (3-7, 1-7), which lost a fifth straight game.<\/p>\n Izaiah Williams<\/a> caught a 27-yard TD pass from Reed to make it 30-10 on A&M’s first drive of the second half. Reed had a 16-yard run on fourth-and-12 to keep the drive alive.<\/p>\n Reed found Ashton Bethel-Roman<\/a> for a 39-yard TD to get the Aggies within 30-17 with about four minutes left in the third.<\/p>\n Reed’s 14-yard pass to Nate Boerkircher<\/a> cut the lead to a touchdown late in the third quarter. That score was set up by a short pass that Bethel-Roman turned into a 76-yard reception the play before.<\/p>\n KC Concepcion<\/a> had seven receptions for 158 yards and Bethel-Roman added 139 yards receiving for the Aggies.<\/p>\n The Gamecocks took a 10-3 lead when Sellers connected with Vandrevius Jacobs<\/a> on a 50-yard touchdown pass.<\/p>\n They pushed the lead to 17-3 when 322-pound defensive tackle Nick Barrett<\/a> scooped up a fumble by Reed and rumbled 17-yards for a score late in the first quarter.<\/p>\n South Carolina was up by 17 late in the second quarter when Brooks intercepted a pass from Sellers and returned it 39 yards to give the Aggies a first down at the 6. Concepcion couldn’t reel in two straight passes in the end zone before Randy Bond<\/a> missed his second field goal of the half to leave Texas A&M emptyhanded.<\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/r80353_1296x1296_1-1.jpg&w=130&h=130&scale=crop&location=center.jpeg\")
