On the day in which Mike Elko is expected to sign a deal that will make him one of the five highest-paid coaches in the sport, Texas A&M looked like they were set to lay an egg. After kicking a field goal on their first possession of the game, everything went wrong for the Aggies.
A&M punted three times, missed a pair of field goals, threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, which South Carolina ran back for a touchdown, to fall behind 30–3 at halftime. From there, Elko’s Aggies went to work.
