Matchup: Texas A&M vs. South Carolina
Date: November 15th, 2025
Location: Kyle Field, College Station, Texas
Kickoff: 11:00 a.m.
Texas A&M’s incredible 2025 season continued last Saturday with a 38-17 win over Missouri on the road. Next up, the Aggies welcome a struggling South Carolina side to College Station in the penultimate game of the SEC regular season for Texas A&M.
In the Gamecocks, Texas A&M faces one of the most disappointing teams of the 2025 season. South Carolina comes to College Station with a 3-6 record, including just one SEC win. That win came back in September against Kentucky. Since then, South Carolina has lost four straight. The Gamecocks were idle last week.
South Carolina lit up the Aggie defense to the tune of 44 points. A big piece of the Gamecocks' success last year came courtesy of their rushing attack. Rocket Sanders and QB LaNorris Sellers powered South Carolina to almost 300 yards rushing. The good news for the Aggies is that Sellers has struggled mightily in 2025, and Sanders no longer mans the running back position for the Gamecocks.
South Carolina ranks near the bottom of the conference in rushing yards and sacks allowed, leading me to believe the Texas A&M defense is primed for a strong performance. Getting LaNorris Sellers to the ground is still no easy task, but with discipline in the pass rush lanes and multiple guys getting to the passer, I expect a much better stat line than 2024.
On the offensive side of the ball, Texas A&M struggled against the Gamecocks in 2024 largely because of the efforts of the South Carolina defensive line and pass rush. Dylan Stewart returned to SC this year, but the Gamecocks simply haven’t been able to replace other key pieces. In particular, South Carolina has struggled at stopping the run - something I expect the Aggies to attack early and often come Saturday.
South Carolina has been better against the pass, but Texas A&M’s massive improvements at the receiver position still lead me to give the Aggies the edge there. I wouldn’t be surprised to see A&M stretch the field a little bit more than we saw the Aggies do against Mizzou, given South Carolina hasn’t been able to generate a pass rush quite like last year. I believe the rushing attack will be the go-to but don’t be shocked when the Aggies hit a play or two over the top.
In short, Texas A&M appears to have the edge on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. That makes Saturday’s winning equation pretty simple. Take care of the ball, limit penalties, and execute on special teams, and this should be a rather straightforward victory for Texas A&M. I have the Aggies reaching ten regular-season wins for the first time since 2012, courtesy of a 35-10 victory over South Carolina.
