Texas A&M Stuns South Carolina With Record 27-Point Rally as DPS Trooper Is Pulled From Duty After Tunnel Incident

State officials say the officer seen bumping and scolding Nyck Harbor was sent home and faces an inspector general review.

Overview

  • Down 30-3 at halftime, No. 3 Texas A&M stormed back to beat South Carolina 31-30, the largest comeback in Aggies history and the first SEC win from a 27-point deficit since 2004.
  • Quarterback Marcel Reed threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns, and EJ Smith’s fourth-quarter run put A&M ahead before the defense sealed the win with late sacks.
  • Video from the first half shows a uniformed trooper making contact with Nyck Harbor and another Gamecock as they exited a tunnel after Harbor’s roughly 80-yard touchdown; Harbor later returned to the game.
  • Texas A&M Police said the trooper was relieved of his game-day assignment, and the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed he was sent home and that the Office of Inspector General will review the incident.
  • The clip spread widely on social media, with figures including LeBron James calling for discipline, as officials declined to release further details pending the review.
