South Carolina at Texas A&M: Opponent preview

It’s no secret that Kevin Sumlin is coaching for his job in 2017. A win over South Carolina would give Sumlin’s Aggies a 2-0 start to SEC play and set them up for a make-or-break October with Alabama, Florida and Mississippi State on the schedule.

Head Coach: Kevin Sumlin. Sixth season (47-22).

Record: 3-1 (1-0).

Last Week: 50-43 OT win over Arkansas.

Offensive playmaker: Christian Kirk.

Weakness: Pass defense.

Holding a 44-10 lead late in the third quarter against UCLA, Texas A&M looked as if they were going to shoot up the rankings with a convincing win on the road to open the season.
