Aggies Week 8 Opponent Preview: South Carolina Gamecocks
The Texas A&M Aggies continue their SEC slate on Saturday when they face South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium in Columbia, S.C., at 6:30 p.m. central.
The Aggies (3-3, 1-2 in SEC) are coming off a bye week and have had more than a week to recover from its 24-20 loss to Alabama. The Aggies are two games back of the top of the SEC West, and if they have any hope at all of worming their way back into the race, they cannot lose another game.
Likewise, South Carolina (4-2, 1-2) is coming off a bye week. However, the Gamecocks executed an upset on the road before the bye week, beating Kentucky, 24-14, for their first SEC win of the season. The Gamecocks are two games back of the lead in the SEC East Division. But, they’re 14-3 coming off bye weeks since 2009.
