Duke just looks sluggish
Duke is getting man handled in the trenches on both sides of the ball
Duke's first team defense, which had given up just three touchdowns in the first four downs, has allowed touchdowns on each of their last four possessions.

Jimbo Fisher has been under fire, so that was a big win for Texas A&M. Sure, South Carolina isn't exactly a juggernaut. However, any good vibes should be welcomed with open arms in College Station. We'll see if the Aggies can build off of it.
A&M fends off South Carolina, but Aggies just had their 4th consecutive second half without an offensive touchdown.
Texas A&M beats South Carolina 30-17 here at Kyle Field. Next up for the Aggies: at Ole Miss at 11 a.m. Saturday.
That was good news for A&M in a couple of ways: a 52-yard FG by Bond with room to spare, he had been struggling of late from long (and semi-long). Aggies lead SC 30-17 with 7:39 left.
Aggies respond with their own score, a 24-yard Bond FG, A&M leads SC 27-17 with 11 minutes left in this one at Kyle Field.

South Carolina impolitely declining to go away, Rattler 2-yard TD pass to TE Simon, Aggies lead 24-16 (extra point to come following review) with 14:56 left in game.
Joshua Simon from Spencer Rattler. It's suddenly a one-score game between South Carolina and Texas A&M.
End of 3rd quarter: Texas A&M 24, South Carolina 10. Gamecocks with ball on A&M 2-yard line.

Ainias Smith is breaking ankles again https://t.co/MNugdVPbcz
South Carolina has 90 yards of total offense in the first half against Texas A&M. The Gamecocks had a 65-yard touchdown drive in the half. 😬 https://t.co/PvhevVWJoV
Texas A&M showing more urgency today. Jimbo went for 4th-and-1 three times today (Aggies converted all three). Also showed some pre-snap motion on a touchdown pass to Ainias Smith. Offense with 134 yards and three TDs on the last three drives and a 21-7 lead over South Carolina
Ainias Smith just scored his first receiving touchdown of the season. Taking eight games to get there is a problem, Aggies need to get him the ball as much as possible. https://t.co/5d4kQo92jc
South Carolina got the ball with 1:44 remaining in the half and it ended with Texas A&M scoring an offensive touchdown five plays and less than a minute of game time later. That's not what you want!
A&M going for it on 4th downs. A&M trying to score late before halftimes. Amazing what happens when you trust your guys to make a play (and play against a short handed South Carolina team)
Three intentional groundings by Rattler today in the first half alone, Aggies lead SC 14-7 with a minute to the half.
Spencer Rattler has been sacked four times and has been called for intentional grounding three times in the first half against Texas A&M
Huge play for the Ags on 3rd & 5, 26 yard completion to the always reliable A Smith, Aggies threatening late in 1st half.
Texas A&M 3 for 3 on 4th and 1s today, 7-7 with SC with about five minutes to half.
First signs of life on this drive by A&M O, capped by 14-yard TD run by Owen. A&M and SC tied at 7 with 9 minutes to half.
End of 1st quarter here at Kyle Field: South Carolina 7, Texas A&M 0.
Terrible start for Texas A&M to this game. South Carolina goes for it on 4th & 1 from 1 running Wildcat, 1-yard TD by Joyner. 13 plays, 65 yards on methodical drive, Gamecocks lead Aggies 7-0 with 2 minutes left in first quarter. (I picked the Aggies by 12 in this one btw).
Very impressive drive from USC that ends with the TD. Gamecocks up 7 on Texas A&M. Things could get spicy for Jimbo if he loses this one.
Spencer Rattler dealing early against Texas A&M 6 of 8 for 63 yards South Carolina up 7-0 early on the Aggies
Just brutal start for the Aggies on offense, and that's putting it too nicely. Johnson, who continues holding the ball too long, sacked three times on Ags' second drive, fumbled on last one but A&M recovered. Punt upcoming on 4th and 20. 0-0 early with SC.
Rough start for Aggies on O, 3 and out and followed by 34-yard Constantinou punt (?), South Carolina starts near midfield.
