Texas A&M continued to roll with a 48-3 win at South Carolina, the Aggies’ fourth straight win since their lone loss of the season against Alabama.
The Aggies got four passing touchdowns from QB Kellen Mond, who also scored a rushing touchdown. RB Isaiah Spiller also chipped in 131 yards including a 52-yard run.
The Aggies return to action next week at Tennessee.
Here’s some of what coach Jimbo Fisher told the media after the game:
Jimbo Fisher postgame: “Our offensive and defensive lines came to play…I think the key was up front. Very proud of our team. Third down was huge. They were 3-14 on we were 12-16.”

Fisher: “[O-lineman] Layden Robinson came in and did a nice job with the 1’s on a touchdown drive, I think he’s gonna be a really good one for us.”

Fisher on how A&M capitalized at the end of the first half: “We scored on not only the first drive of the second half, but the last drive of the first half. We got two scores before they could get the ball back in their hands.”

Fisher on Keldrick Carper starting in place of Demani Richardson: “He went out and stepped right in…getting Erick Young back was huge for us as well…but happy for Keldrick, who got a pick — he’s a class young man.”

Fisher said RG Jared Hocker suffered what he believes is a “mild bang” thinks he’ll be ok, but they’ll investigate more when they get home.

Jimbo Fisher on Jalen Wydermyer: He has all the tools. He can run, he can catch. He’s learning to be physical and you can use him in more ways in the run game.
