The Texas A&M Aggies are one of the few unbeaten teams remaining in the country and look to continue that success as they return home to host the South Carolina Gamecocks, aiming to move to 10-0 on the season and extend their best start since 1992.

While the Gamecocks haven't had the season they hoped for coming into the year, they are still loaded with talent throughout the roster and would like to play spoiler for the Aggies' perfect season thus far.

Here's how to watch one of the most exciting matchups of the weekend.

What to Know About South Carolina

The Gamecocks have not had the season they hoped for, following their success from last season and returning a large portion of their talent, while also adding some from the transfer portal. Part of their problems have been the schedule they were handed for the season, as the Aggies are their fifth straight ranked opponent this year.

LaNorris Sellers, who was viewed as one of the Heisman favorites before the season began, hasn't had the year he expected, and the Gamecocks' offense has definitely reflected that. They rank 128th in rushing offense and 104th in passing offense, and now will face the Aggies, who are a top-45 defense in both categories.
