How Not To Football | Defector

"The Texas A&M Aggies played the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday, in what only a very few, who may not have witnessed it, are calling a "football game." It was more accurate to describe it as an assault on the senses, an exercise in how not to conduct yourself on a football field from both teams in each half. Let's start with A&M, who looked absolutely sapped of any ability to play the sport for the entire first half."

"Quarterback Marcel Reed completed six of 19 passes with two pretty bad interceptions, including one in the end zone. Their kicker missed two field goals. Their best receivers kept dropping passes, even when Reed was able to throw one well. The Aggies might point to injuries as part of the problem, but that doesn't really explain what happened in that first half. It looked as if someone on A&M team bet against them in that first half."

"Not only did the Gamecocks allow 28 straight points from the Aggies, without ever scoring again themselves-they couldn't even muster up 100 yards of offense, amassing 76 yards in the second half after recording 312 in the first. Quarterback LaNorris Sellers returned to the poor football he's been playing all year, while Reed spent the second half going 16-for-20 with three"

Both teams produced a chaotic, error-filled contest marked by turnovers, missed kicks, and dropped passes. Texas A&M looked sapped in the first half as quarterback Marcel Reed completed six of 19 passes and threw two interceptions, including one in the end zone, while the kicking game failed and receivers dropped opportunities. South Carolina dominated early, building a 27-point advantage and totaling 312 first-half yards. In the second half, A&M mounted a 28-point run while South Carolina failed to score again and managed just 76 yards. LaNorris Sellers regressed in the second half, and Reed completed 16 of 20 passes during the comeback attempts.
