Social Media Reacts to Texas A&M’s 30-17 win over South Carolina
Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) was in dire need of a victory after the bye week, previously dropping their last two SEC matchups in close losses to Alabama and Tennessee. Facing a beatable South Carolina team who were also coming off of consecutive losses, head coach Jimbo Fisher’s shaky future needed a jolt of energy, coming in the form of a blowout home victory.
Behind yet another impressive defensive effort led by star linebacker Edgerrin Cooper (7 tackles, one sack, one TFL) and safety Bryce Anderson (7 tackles, two sacks, 2.5 TFLS), the Aggies offense, still a painfully slow work in progress, did find the end zone three times in the first half, including an impressive second quarter explosion capped by by quarterback Max Johnson’s 45-yard strike to do-it-all wide receiver Ainias with to take a 21-7 lead into halftime.
After the game, every Aggie fan, media member, and general Texas A&M hater made their way to social media to either congratulate or continue to mock the Maroon & White in an always entertaining fashion.
Here are the best social media reactions from Texas A&M’s 30-17 win over South Carolina on Saturday afternoon.
Some are saying it....
I think Edgerrin Cooper is the best LB in the nation… I think.

A sneaky stat that has plagued the Aggies in all three of their losses
In its last four games (Arkansas, Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina), Texas A&M has not scored an offensive touchdown in the second half.
The Aggie offense has generated 18 points (six field goals) in those four second halves combined.

Ainias Smith is an Aggie legend. Period.
Ainias Smith on entering the top 10 in all-purpose yards in Texas A&M history: "I'm blessed… I am at a loss for words. I have to keep going. Keep striving. It's nice to be top 10, but I want to be #1."

Texas A&M's defense is a dominant as any unit in the country
Only 33 rushing yards allowed today 💪

Outside of Edgerrin Cooper's big day, safety Bryce Anderson had one heck of any outing
this is dope: @BryceAnderson_1 had 7 tackles, 5 solo/2 asst 2 sacks 2.5 tackles for loss and a pass break up.
dadgum that's a helluva statline.

Let's be honest, love or hate Jimbo Fisher, this is probably what he meant
A&M is bowl eligible with a win Ole Miss
This is just another version of "one game at a time"
But by all means… let's all cry about it anyway I guess https://t.co/VSiAltQdEH

The Jimbo Fisher experience isn't for the faint of heart
Flashes of greatness along with long stretches of frustration, with an end result that, while not catastrophic, doesn’t inspire a ton of confidence for the future.
This game was the complete Jimbo Fisher experience.

Jimbo went into full "screw it" mode at the end of the first half
We saw a different Jimbo Fisher from a game management standpoint in that first half, and in a good way.
Aggressive at the end of the half, going for it on fourth down three times (and twice inside his own 35!) and doing the QB sneak. Love to see it.

Would he be better than dry fit Lincoln? Who knows.
