It took South Carolina’s offense a while to get going, but the Gamecocks finally got going in the third quarter against Texas A&M on Saturday.
With USC trailing the Aggies 16-0 in the third quarter, South Carolina made its way down the field, aided by several penalty flags and a clutch fourth-down conversion by senior receiver Deebo Samuel.
The team’s first points of the da, came when embattled starting quarterback Jake Bentley scrambled and found Smith for a short pass. Smith did the rest, juking his way past several A&M defenders for a 22-yard score.
Immediately after, Bentley found receiver Bryan Edwards on the two-point conversion, and the junior made the catch after briefly bobbling the ball to make it 16-8 with just under five minutes left in the third quarter.
