COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- With just under six minutes left in the third quarter and the Texas A&M offense retreating to the bench after a touchdown drive that gave the Aggies a seven-point lead over South Carolina Gamecocks, safety Donovan Wilson gave his offensive teammates a fair warning: Don’t get too comfortable.
“He came up to us before that drive and said 'Y'all don't sit on the bench, because I'm about to get the ball back for us,'” A&M offensive tackle Germain Ifedi recalled.
The sophomore made good on his promise soon thereafter, although he did all the work, stepping in front of a Perry Orth pass and taking it 60 yards to the end zone for a touchdown and a 14-point lead the Aggies would not relinquish in its 35-28 victory over the Gamecocks on Saturday at Kyle Field.
