Aggies coach Jimbo Fisher lost for the first time in five games against the Gamecocks...
South Carolina running back MarShawn Lloyd rushes for a touchdown past Texas A&M defensive back Jarred Kerr during the second half of an NCAA college football game Saturday, Oct. 22, 2022, in Columbia, S.C. COLUMBIA, S.C. — South Carolina pitches a massive ride at its state fair as the “Rolls-Royce of Ferris wheels.”
South Carolina clutched a 24-21 lead midway through the fourth quarter before embarking on an eight-play, 80-yard game-clinching drive, capped by a smooth 4-yard touchdown run by MarShawn Lloyd against a gassed A&M defense. The Gamecocks’ resulting drive starting on the A&M 5-yard line wound up with a 23-yard field goal, the first sign A&M’s defense would make every effort to keep the Aggies in the game despite the offensive miscues.
A&M trailed 17-3 when safety Bryce Anderson caused and recovered a fumble by Gamecocks running back Juju McDowell on the South Carolina 29-yard line. That short field resulted in another Randy Bond field goal, closing the gap to 17-6 early in the second quarter.
