Overview

  • Texas A&M enters at 9-0 (6-0 SEC) and No. 3 in the CFP, hosting 3-6 (1-6 SEC) South Carolina at Kyle Field on Saturday with an 11 a.m. CT kickoff on ESPN.
  • BetMGM lists the Aggies as a heavy favorite at -19.5 with a 48.5 total, reflecting predictive models that give A&M a strong win probability.
  • Coach Mike Elko and quarterback Marcel Reed emphasized respect for the opponent and acknowledged the personal edge after last season’s defeat.
  • South Carolina’s struggling offense prompted a play-calling change from Mike Shula to passing-game coordinator Mike Furrey as QB LaNorris Sellers looks to regain form.
  • With Le’Veon Moss still sidelined, Rueben Owens has emerged as the lead back (102 yards and two touchdowns at Missouri; 542 yards this season, 21.5 mph top speed per Reel Analytics), and Elko expects senior Amari Daniels to rejoin the rotation after not playing last week.
