Sixteen things you might have missed from USC vs. Texas A&M game:
1. South Carolina slipped to 3-2 and 1-2 in the SEC with a loss to Texas A&M, an accidental rival of sorts that has commanded the brief series. The teams were paired as annual cross-division foes, part of the SEC's effort to preserve other, historic rivalries. The Aggies have won all four meetings, and the margin of victory has been closer of late, starting at 24 to seven to nine to seven in the 24-17 contest Saturday night.
2. Jake Bentley had a volatile day that ended up producing a final pedestrian line.
