Marcus Satterfield has faced criticism from South Carolina fans for almost his entire two-season tenure as offensive coordinator with the Gamecocks, and the lackluster effort in the first half against Texas A&M was another example.

The Gamecocks had just 115 total yards by halftime, as 4 straight drives ended with either a punt or a fumble. They were 3-for-7 on third down conversions. Spencer Rattler was 6-for-16 for 80 yards.

MarShawn Lloyd had 3 carries for 28 yards, as South Carolina saw its 17-point lead whittle down to 17-14 by halftime.
