Texas A&M's win against South Carolina will go down in the history books as one of the greatest comebacks in SEC history.
Since 2004, teams were 0-286 when trailing by more than 27 points at any point. Texas A&M is now on the rare end of that list, as that record is now 1-286. The advanced stats show the exact tale of two halves that put this game into perspective.

Sure, South Carolina completely embarrassed A&M in the first half, but South Carolina made mistakes of their own. Dalton Brooks made an interception to put A&M in business.
The Aggies were just unable to capitalize and turned the ball over. Not to mention, Randy Bond missed a chip-shot field goal late in the first half to at least get something on the board.
A +.391 success rate for Texas A&M in the second half means they had to play almost to perfection, which they had to if they wanted a fighting chance. The Ags did everything they needed to by the early fourth quarter when they took the lead.
This also tells us what the Aggies can do when they play to their potential. KC Concepcion was dropping passes and dropped a sure touchdown in the second quarter. Marcel Reed was overthrowing the football, and while there might've been some slight wind to cause an impact, even Reed probably wouldn't use it as an excuse.
The bottom line is the Aggies played a more dominant second half than South Carolina did in its first half— and the numbers show that they actually won the day very convincingly. The LaNorris Sellers nightmares were coming alive once again, and social media was about to blow up against the Aggies. Instead, they pulled off one of the best comebacks in SEC history, and the graphic above proves just that.
