South Carolina hopes to pick up right where it left off from its game against Oklahoma two weeks ago. The Gamecocks received their second bye of the season in Week 9 and used it to get healthy and prepare for their biggest game of the season. Some may think the Alabama game is bigger, but at this point in the season, a win is crucial, and if the Gamecocks can steal a win from a ranked opponent, it could give them momentum to finish the season strong.
The Gamecocks are just 1-9 against Texas A&M in the history of their streak, with the lone win coming two years ago in 2022. Head coach Shane Beamer led his team to an 8-4 record in the month of November during his tenure with South Carolina. A win against the Aggies is big right now as the Gamecocks are 0-3 against ranked opponents this season.
Defense will be key in this game as the offense will be able to put up a respectable amount of points, but will need to keep up with the Aggies.

South Carolina and Texas A&M get the night slot for the game, the Gamecocks’ third night game of the season. Kickoff is set for 7:30 PM EST at Williams-Brice Stadium. So far, South Carolina is 1-1 in night games this season.
