South Carolina proved to be the most difficult test the undefeated Texas A&M<\/a> have faced this season, but the third-ranked Aggies eked out a 31-30 victory to stay unbeaten.<\/p>\n

The Gamecock dominated the first half, jumping out to a 30-3 halftime lead before Texas A&M pulled off the largest come-from-behind win in school history. Johnny Manziel helped stage the previous largest rally in program history when Texas A&M defeated Duke in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl.<\/p>\n

Teams were 0-286 in Southeastern Conference<\/a> play since 2004 when trailing by 27 points or more \u2014 until the Aggies’ improbable comeback on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The victory also keeps Texas A&M on track for its first trip to the College Football Playoff.<\/p>\n

Texas A&M sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed finished the day with a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns. But in the dismal first half, he threw two interceptions and fumbled.<\/p>\n

Izaiah Williams caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from Reed to make it 30-10 on A&M\u2019s first drive of the second half. Reed had a 16-yard run on fourth-and-12 to keep the drive alive. The Aggies took the lead for the first time on a 4-yard run by EJ Smith with about 11 minutes left.<\/p>\n

The Gamecocks took a 10-3 lead when Sellers connected with Vandrevius Jacobs on a 50-yard touchdown pass. They pushed the lead to 17-3 when 322-pound defensive tackle Nick Barrett 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 safety Dalton Brooks intercepted a pass from Sellers and returned it 39 yards to give the Aggies a first down at the 6-yard line. But kicker Randy Bond missed his second field goal of the half to leave Texas A&M empty-handed.<\/p>\n
