South Carolina hosted Texas A&M tonight to kick off the college football season proper. It was an exciting game for Texas A&M as they blasted the Gamecocks 52-28. The following is a twitter recap, tweetcap, of the action. It’s more fun than the game was, for South Carolina fans.

"You are looking live." Chills.

One of the best entrances in college football, easily.

Judging by that opening kickoff, I’m thinking Brent is taking A&M and the points.

First post-Manziel drive > First post-Clowney drive. TD, Ags

A&M's QB worked the whole field really well that drive.

Touchdown overturned, so we'll see if A&M can punch it in.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 28, 2014
Answer is a quick yes. Aggies with a dominant drive. Gamecocks D looked bewildered.

Some folks saying Mike Davis has a rib injury. Not a good look out of the Gamecocks that opening possession.

Carolina front seven looks very average early on.
— Matt Hayes (@MattHayesCFB) August 28, 2014
Texas A&M’s o-line is just a wonderful, nasty bunch.

First time targeting Speedy Noil doesn’t work out well for A&M. About the only thing that hasn’t clicked so far. 10-0 Ags.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 28, 2014
Ah, the A&M secondary we know and love.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) August 28, 2014
TAMU freshman Myles Garrett got to Thompson — just after Thompson threw that long TD pass.
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) August 28, 2014
Boom. What a play by Dylan Thompson standing in and taking the hit, and Nick Jones with the concentration and breakaway for TD.

Kenny Hill is such an impressive young man. He stays on his toes, keeps his feet moving, and his eyes downfield.
— Kane "The Conqueror" Webb (@FightOnTwist) August 28, 2014
These are freshmen and sophomores for A&M. That's a little scary.
— Paul Myerberg (@PaulMyerberg) August 28, 2014
A&M coaches loving it as Carolina calls timeout to regroup. Aggies just dealing on the Gamecocks right now.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 28, 2014
The Hill comparison isn't Manziel, it's Case Keenum and Sam Bradford. 2 guys who threw it all over the place in a Sumlin offense.
— Matt Hayes (@MattHayesCFB) August 28, 2014
😂 RT @Perroni247: South Carolina redshirt sophomore CB ran off the field to the wrong sideline. USCe had to call timeout
— Good Bull Hunting (@GBHunting) August 28, 2014
Texas A&M's offense = hot knife. South Carolina's defense = butter.
— Barrett Sallee 🇺🇸 (@BarrettSallee) August 28, 2014
A&M is drilling SC like they got oil.
— Red Velvet Rick 🥋 (@RickMuscles) August 28, 2014
A&M's three scoring drives have averaged 9.67 plays.
Methodical short-intermediate pitch-and-catch, sustained and not stopped.

Kenny Hill is 16-20 for 172 yards and a TD. In 18 minutes as a college starter.

33 plays, 250 yds for TAMU 18 minutes into the game.
— Dennis Dodd (@dennisdoddcbs) August 28, 2014
I’m sorry, but that shouldn’t happen. Ridiculous coverage.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 28, 2014
A&M’s secondary is a construction site.
— Peter Berkes (@peterberkes) August 28, 2014
Dylan Thompson two lightning-strike bombs are keeping South Carolina in this. That was a coverage bust.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 28, 2014
That corner threw one of those "Well, there was SUPPOSED to be a safety there" looks back at the sideline.
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) August 28, 2014

What a throw by Hill for the TD. OL is giving him time and he's putting it on his WRs. Quite a performance so far.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 28, 2014
South Carolina allowed an average of 20.3 ppt last season. Texas A&M now has 23 in the first half (PAT pending).
— Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) August 28, 2014
Don't understand why more punt coverage guys don't catch the punt instead of letting it bounce before downing it.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 28, 2014
Fast playmakers in space. Pretty good strategy so far for the Texas A&M offense. SC defense looks gassed.

This. Is. A. Bludgeoning.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 29, 2014
You cannot find the letter "D" in the words "South Carolina Gamecocks."
It's quite appropriate, no?
— The Comeback NCAA (@TheComebackNCAA) August 29, 2014
Goodnight sweet, OBC Prince,

Kenny Hill just going out and having a good time out there.

Really weird that the SEC Network launched with the A&M spring game.

South Carolina just announced Mike Davis has a "rib bruise."
— Josh Kendall (@JoshTheAthletic) August 29, 2014
South Carolina better get that pass defense fixed in a hurry. Shane Carden comin’ next week.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 29, 2014
Craziest part of this: #Aggies on pace to score over 60 in a spot where road teams lost 18 straight AND #TAMU lost 3 1st RDers from the O.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) August 29, 2014
Texas A&M has 45 points and 500 yards with 20 minutes left. That is all.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 29, 2014
Texas A&M Aggies score again. #copyandpaste
— Kevin McGuire (@KevinOnCFB) August 29, 2014
Well… This is certainly an ass whuppin.
— Peter Berkes (@peterberkes) August 29, 2014
Was that the #GoodnightIrene score from A&M?
— Wes Rucker (@wesrucker247) August 29, 2014
Not anymore RT @Morgan_Moriarty: Safe to say this A&M team will sneak up from behind and surprise some people this year, yes?
— Matt Smith (@MattSmithCFB) August 29, 2014
Correction: most points surrendered at home since 2007. Florida got 'em for 51. But we still have a long way to go here.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 29, 2014
This game isn’t over, but South Carolina would be advised to get an actual stop. 45-28, Aggies.
— Dan Wolken (@DanWolken) August 29, 2014
South Carolina has 28 points in under three quarters, with no turnovers and very few penalties… and is being crushed in a home night game.
— The Comeback NCAA (@TheComebackNCAA) August 29, 2014
Freshman Armani Watts with an interception for Texas A&M. Nice game for him.

NOW we have the most points surrendered at home by South Carolina since 2003. Aggies at 52 and counting.
— Pat Forde (@ByPatForde) August 29, 2014
I do love the "South Carolina's loss proves the SEC is overrated" argument. Um, they're losing to an SEC team.
— Andy Staples (@Andy_Staples) August 29, 2014
Quite the dominant showing by #TAMU on the road. #Aggies are 12-15 on 3rd downs. #SouthCaroline: 2-9.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) August 29, 2014
South Carolina is gonna give up 700 yards tonight.
— Mark Ennis (@MarkEnnis) August 29, 2014
South Carolina has officially allowed more yards than it ever did under Tyrone Nix. There are no words
— Team Speed Kills (@TeamSpeedKills) August 29, 2014
School records falling in Columbia. Kenny Hill most passing yards ever by A&M QB, South Carolina allowed most yards in school history
— Bryan Fischer (@BryanDFischer) August 29, 2014
FINAL: No. 21 Texas A&M 52, No. 9 South Carolina 28. @postandcourier
Aggies: 99 plays, 680 yards. Most allowed in Gamecocks history.
