South Carolina star Nyck Harbor was angrily bumped by a police officer just moments after scoring 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.

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.
Shortly before kickoff, it emerged that Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko is set to become one of the top five highest-paid coaches in college football.
He is reportedly finalizing a new six-year, $11m-a-season deal with Texas A&M. Elko, who currently earns around $7m a year, is in his second season in Texas after arriving from Duke.
