A Texas Department of Public Safety trooper bumped South Carolina wide receiver Nyck Harbor and scolded him after Harbor scored a touchdown late in the first half of the Gamecocks’ game at Texas A&M.
After Harbor pulled away from Aggies defenders on the way to an 80-yard touchdown, he slowly jogged up a tunnel while favoring his hamstring. As Harbor was followed by teammates and the South Carolina players walked out of the tunnel seconds after the touchdown, an officer bumped through the players before turning around to angrily say something to them.
Take a look.

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is aware of the incident that occurred today during the Texas A&M football game. The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General (OIG) is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into…

The touchdown extended South Carolina’s lead to 27-3 as the Gamecocks opened up a 30-3 halftime lead on the No. 3 team in the country. Texas A&M turned the ball over three times in the first half and QB Marcel Reed flirted with even more interceptions than the two he threw.
But it was short-lived. The Aggies would mount the biggest comeback in school history in the second half and overtake the Gamecocks for a 31-30 win.
