The start to the afternoon at College Station wasn't a good one. 

Texas A&M's embarrassing first half at home against South Carolina put the Aggies in need of a serious second half comeback. Right before both teams went into the locker room, the ESPN broadcast caught an unusual moment between a Texas state trooper and three Gamecock players. 

From the short clip, it appears the officer was trying to play "Red Rover," but his reaction suggests the exchange wasn't friendly. 

RedditCFB on X shared a video of the back-and-forth with the caption, "Any comments on this embarrassing behavior? @TAMUPolice."

Outside of the strange behavior, Texas A&M responded in a huge way to take a fourth quarter lead. It was the start to a championship-caliber performance and what the Aggies needed to try and keep their undefeated season alive. Marcel Reed hit the 400-yard mark and lifted A&M with a dual-threat effort.   

If the Aggies end up winning, not only will they stay on track for the SEC title game, but also make history. No conference team has ever rallied from a 27-point deficit over the past 93 years.
