Ford's 2 fourth quarter TDs lead Aggies over Gamecocks 24-17

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Coach Kevin Sumlin has so many good runners that the Texas A&M coach sometimes has trouble distributing carries between them. On Saturday night he saw that Keith Ford was on a roll late. So he kept feeding him the ball, and it paid off as Ford ran for 70 yards and two touchdowns, including the go-ahead 17-yard score in the fourth quarter, to lift Texas A&M to a 24-17 win over South Carolina. "There's games where guys are hot and a tough physical game like that, that's where Keith ford excels," Sumlin said. True freshman Kellen Mond threw for 159 yards and ran for 95 to help the Aggies (4-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) rally for the victory. Sumlin likes the growth Mond has shown since taking over midway through Texas A&M's opener against UCLA when Nick Starkel suffered a season-ending injury.
