COLLEGE STATION -- When Texas A&M trotted onto the field for a crucial drive last weekend at South Carolina, time was in the Aggies’ favor.
The Aggies a little more than seven minutes away from an SEC road win. And through the first half of the season, A&M was one of the nation’s top leaders in average time of possession.
That trend continued in the fourth quarter against the Gamecocks. The visitors sapped more than 12 minutes off the clock and scored a touchdown with 1:36 left that ended up being the difference in the 26-23 win at Williams-Brice Stadium.
