South Carolina football score vs. Texas A&M Aggies: Live updates for SEC matchup

COLUMBIA — After an open week, South Carolina football is aiming to carry the momentum from its upset of No. 18 Kentucky into another SEC matchup with Texas A&M.

The Gamecocks (4-2, 1-2 SEC) take on the Aggies (3-3, 1-2) at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday (7:30 p.m., SEC Network). South Carolina has never beaten Texas A&M in the eight-year history of the series, and it lost 44-14 last season in College Station. The margin was even worse the last time the Aggies came to Columbia, beating the Gamecocks 48-3 in 2020.

After coach Shane Beamer earned the first SEC road win of his tenure and the program's first win at Kentucky since 2012, the Gamecocks will look for another historic upset this week.
