The No. 10 Texas A&M Aggies are one of the hottest teams in college football heading into Saturday’s road matchup with the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Is now the time to end A&M’s seven-game winning streak? Heisman Trophy winner and former USC Trojans star-turned-quarterback Matt Leinart thinks the possibility of an upset is certainly on the table.
“It’s a trap game written all over it for me,” Leinart said, per On3. “If you look at South Carolina, two of their three losses, they lost to Alabama and LSU by a combined five points. It’s a competition, tough football team at night in South Carolina.
South Carolina has had some highs and lows this season, but when they’re at their best, the Gamecocks can contend with the SEC’s elite. As Leinart pointed out, the Gamecocks nearly upset Alabama on the road in a 27-25 loss on Oct. 12 after facing LSU at home in a crushing 36-33 loss on Sept. 14.
However, South Carolina also had some memorable performances. The Gamecocks were nearly upset at home by Old Dominion in a 23-19 season-opening win before being blown out 27-3 by then-No. 12 Ole Miss a few weeks later.
The Gamecocks are not in realistic SEC title contention. So with nothing to lose, expect South Carolina to put everything on the line in an attempt to put a serious dent in Texas A&M’s conference title hopes.
The Aggies and Gamecocks will kick off from Williams-Brice Stadium at 6:30pm CT.
