Texas A&M (7-2, 5-1 SEC) is no longer undefeated in SEC play. However, the Aggies still have plenty of goals to accomplish heading into the bye week after falling to South Carolina 44-20 on Saturday night.
Looking lifeless in the second half, Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed had his moments, but running back Le’Veon Moss’s first-half knee injury looked too much to overcome mid-game.
At the same time, the Aggie defense missed 25 tackles on the night, leading to nearly 300 yards on the ground for the Gamecocks. Entering the bye week, head coach Mike Elko and his staff must fix the issues that plagued the Aggies throughout the night, even though South Carolina is much more physical than the final three teams on Texas A&M schedule.
Around the rest of the country, Clemson’s CFB Playoff dreams may have been dashed after falling to Louisville while Georgia, Ole Miss, and Tennessee all took care of business in Week 10.
After falling to the Gamecocks, Texas A&M, who entered Week 10 at No. 10 in the AP Top 25 Poll, dropped five spots to No. 15. What’s confusing is that LSU, coming off a bye week, rose to No. 14 even though the Aggies defeated the Tigers 38-23 in Week 9.
