Fans storm the field in Columbia as South Carolina takes down No. 10 Texas A&M

It is mayhem in Columbia, South Carolina, tonight as fans storm the field at Williams-Brice Stadium after a dominant 42-20 win over No. 10 Texas A&M.

November truly is the magical month for South Carolina as they take down the No. 1 team in the SEC, Texas A&M, who also happens to be the No. 10 team in the country. After going 0-3 on the season against ranked opponents, head coach Shane Beamer and his squad were finally able to get it done in what is probably their biggest game of the season.

Right from the start, the Gamecocks came out hot with a touchdown on their first drive, moving the ball with ease. The momentum continued as the defense got a big fourth down stop to turn the ball over on downs back to the offense giving them great field position. A great pass from quarterback LaNorris Sellers to Joshua Simon gave the Gamecocks a quick 14-0 lead.

The Aggies lost running back Le'Veon Moss early in the game after a hard hit from USC defensive back DQ Smith and left the game with a right knee injury. However, Texas A&M was able to take the lead just before the half, but a 44-yard field goal from South Carolina tied it before halftime started.

The second half was truly where the Gamecocks shine, especially on defense. The offense had its moments of struggle, but USC was able to outscore Texas A&M 24-0 in the second have to make the game look worse than what it really was.

The defense was all over the Aggie offense, getting multiple big stops on big downs to keep the momentum going, as well as getting two turnovers, picking off Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed once, and strip-sacking him late in the game to truly seal the win.

The run game was truly the highlight of the South Carolina offense tonight, with the Gamecocks totaling 286 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns. Running back Raheim Sanders led the group with 144 yards and two touchdowns, followed by Seller with 106 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown.

This win in November moved the Gamecocks to 11-4 under Beamer in his four years with South Carolina showing that his teams know how to turn it on late in the season. This is a huge win for the Gamecocks as it puts them one game closer to bowl-eligibility making them 5-3 on the season with four games left to play.

South Carolina will travel to Nashville, Tennessee, next week to take on a sneaky good Vanderbilt team who just put a beatdown on Auburn to become bowl-eligible for the first time since 2018.
