A Texas State Trooper was “relieved of his game day assignment” Saturday after exchanging words with New York Harbor in South Carolina after a long landing.
After Harbor caught the pass and ran 80 yards, he grabbed his right hamstring and continued into the tunnel for Kyle Field.
He was joined by several of his teammates and Harbor carefully walked out of the tunnel.

As he was returning, an officer came between him and made contact with Harbor and running back Oscar Adway III.
The officer then scolded Harbor, who turned back but continued walking toward the field.
The police department reported on Channel X that the officer was relieved of game day duty and sent home.
NBA star LeBron James called for the officer to be suspended.
“This A&M police officer needs to be suspended! It was deliberate and corny! He tried his best to start some bullshit. Do better, man.” he sent a message to X.
The touchdown put the Gamecocks up 27-3 and that lead expanded to 30-3, but the third-ranked Aggies stormed all the way back for a wild 31-30 victory.

Texas A&M outscored South Carolina 28-0 in the second half to complete its biggest comeback ever.
Marcel Reid threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns, leading the Aggies to 10–0 on the season.
The comeback eclipsed the Johnny Manziel-led team's 21-point performance in a 52-48 2013 Chick-fil-A Bowl victory over Duke. Entering Saturday, teams were 0-286 in the Southeastern Conference since 2004, trailing by 27 points or more.
Reed recovered from a terrible first half in which he was intercepted twice and had the ball returned to him to score and put the Aggies in a 30-3 hole. He had a great second half that helped prepare Texas A&M for their first trip to the College Football Playoff.
The Aggies took their first lead on EJ Smith's 4-yard run with 11 minutes remaining.
Texas A&M then went down for the first time at 1, but Jamarion Morrow missed the trick and the Gamecocks recovered with about three minutes left.
