The South Carolina Gamecocks are set to take on another ranked foe this weekend, this time in the form of the confounding Texas A&M Aggies, who have so far resisted any attempt to allow USC to grab a win in this “rivalry.” With the Aggies still riding high over that head-turning upset against then-No. 1 Alabama, the Gamecocks will have their work cut out for them in a noisy Kyle Field. Here’s how they can come away with an upset of their own.
The run defense needs a good day. A&M hasn’t been quite as pass-happy as they typically are, relying instead on a two-headed rushing attack led by Isaiah Spiller and Devon Achane, who have combined for 1,112 rushing yards (good for second in the conference by a running back tandem).
