A Texas police officer was sent home on Saturday after angrily bumping South Carolina star Nyck Harbor just moments after he scored a touchdown against Texas A&M.

The Gamecocks receiver raced to the end zone for an 80-yard score during an astonishing first half in College Station on Saturday.

But Harbor then jogged gingerly down a tunnel at Kyle Field after appearing to hurt his hamstring.

Moments later, the receiver wandered back towards the field, flanked by several South Carolina teammates.

Then, in a bizarre moment shown live on ESPN, a cop walked straight into Harbor and running back Oscar Adaway III, knocking them both off their stride.

The two players turned around to find the angry officer pointing towards the field. ‘Get out of here!’ he appeared to shout.

A statement from Texas A&M police later on Saturday afternoon read: ‘We are aware of the incident in the NE tunnel involving a DPS trooper. He has been relieved of his game day assignment.’

The Texas Department of Public Safety said they are ‘aware of the incident that occurred today during the Texas A&M football game. The DPS Trooper involved was sent home from the game. Our Office of Inspector General is also aware of the incident and will be further looking into the matter.’

Both Harbor and Adaway seemed confused by the confrontation. The running back even held out his hand – as if to apologize – before grabbing Harbor and leading him away.

The Gamecocks arrived in College Station with a 3-6 record for the season. No 3-ranked Texas A&M, meanwhile, were 9-0 heading into Saturday’s clash.

But South Carolina made a remarkable start, scoring three first-half touchdowns and racing into a 30-3 lead heading into the third quarter.

Texas A&M would go on to record the biggest comeback in school history to beat South Carolina 31-30.

Marcel Reed threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns as they overturned a 27-point halftime deficit to remain undefeated.

‘I´m not lost for words very much, but I was lost for words with the team in the locker room after the game,’ coach Mike Elko said. ‘A lot of that emotion was just pride in who they were, how they conducted themselves. There´s not a lot of teams that have a culture and a core that will just keep going.’

The comeback was the biggest in school history, eclipsing a 21-point rally by a Johnny Manziel-led team in a 52-48 win in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl over Duke.

Entering Saturday, teams were 0-286 in SEC play since 2004 when trailing by 27 points or .
