Texas A&M Aggies at South Carolina Gamecocks Overview
The Aggies (4-0) enter off a remarkable 45-21 win against a ranked Arkansas Razorbacks, last week in College Station. The Aggies also own wins over Auburn, UCLA and Prairie View A&M this season. The Aggies have a dynamic quarterback in Trevor Knight who transferred in from Oklahoma after losing his starting job to Baker Mayfield. Knight is an evolving starter and catalyst of the Aggies offense.
South Carolina comes in at 2-2, most recently off a road defeat at Kentucky where they fell 17-10. The Gamecocks own a sole win at home this year when they defeated ECU 20-15.
