What happened

ESPN RECAP

Wydermyer scores twice as No. 17 A&M routs Gamecocks 44-14

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- , Ainias Smith spoke to his Texas A&M teammates about the importance of starting fast before Saturday night's game against South Carolina. Then he made sure the Aggies did just that. Smith had a 95-yard punt return for a touchdown and Jalen Wydermyer added two TD catches as No. 17 Texas A&M built a huge first-half lead and coasted to a 44-14 rout of South Carolina. The Aggies forced a punt on South Carolina's first drive and Smith returned it for the score. It was the longest punt return for a touchdown in the FBS this season and the longest for the Aggies since Dustin Harris had a 96-yard return for a TD in 2012 against South Carolina State. “My message to the team was... let’s start strong and go out here and get an edge on them real quick," Smith said.
