Five storylines to watch as Texas A&M faces Ole Miss in Week 10

Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) didn’t play a perfect game in last weekend’s win against South Carolina, but it was a much-needed jolt to steer the season back on track.

The Aggies head on the road to Oxford to face No. 11 Ole Miss (7-1, 4-1 SEC) on Saturday in what may be one of A&M’s toughest matchups yet. Lane Kiffin’s Rebels boast one of the conference’s most potent offenses, as they score at a clip of 38.9 PPG. Meanwhile, their

Five takeaways from Texas A&M's 30-17 bounce back win over South Carolina

For at least one more week, all is well in Aggieland after Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) picked up a much-needed win against South Carolina (2-6, 1-5 SEC) in Week 9. The Aggies trounced the Gamecocks to the tune of 30-17, with much of their victory coming off the heels of a 21-0 second-quarter offensive surge. While there remain clear areas of improvement, namely on offense, A&M improved just enough to put them in a comfortable position to win on Saturday. Of course, their goal was much much easier

Two SEC contenders leapfrog into the Top 10 of latest US LBM Coaches Poll

Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) bounced back for a much-needed 30-17 win over South Carolina (2-6, 1-5 SEC) over the weekend. Yet, the coaches’ panel didn’t bat an eye following the victory.

Each coach submits a Top 25 with a first-place vote worth 25 points, second place 24, and so on, down to one point for 25th. The Aggies were shut out in the latest US LB

Latest AP Top 25 Poll sees future SEC school slip following upset loss in Week 9

Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) got a much-needed jolt following a 30-17 win over South Carolina (2-6, 1-5 SEC) over the weekend. The win helped steer the Aggies season back on track, but it wasn’t enough to garner some appreciation in the latest AP Top 25 Poll. The Aggies were again shut out in the latest rankings, marking another consecutive week on the outside looking in for the Maroon and White. It’s going to take more than an (expected) win versus an inferior Gamecocks opponent to gain some tract

Texas A&M's offense finds second quarter spark, leads South Carolina 21-7 at halftime

Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) entered Week 9 fresh off the bye, and for the first quarter, it looked like the brief time off had a hangover effect. Finally, the Aggies offense found a spark in the second quarter to take an early lead over South Carolina (2-5, 1-4 SEC) by halftime. Max Johnson was as efficient as he could be through the first quarters, completing 11/15 passes for 133 yards and one touchdown, without an interception. His performance was admirable given that A&M’s offensive line showed

'Happy for our guys. Wasn't perfect but did really good things.' Jimbo Fisher believes win over South Carolina can spark a strong end to the season

There’s no sugarcoating the obvious: Texas A&M (5-3, 3-2 SEC) had to get back into the win column in Week 9. Courtesy of a 30-17 win against South Carolina (2-6, 1-5 SEC), the Aggies gave their season a much-needed injection of life. By no means was Saturday’s win pretty, and it was by far a complete game on both sides of the ball. But another elite defensive performance paired nicely with a more-or-less improved offense to ensure the Bonham Trophy was welcomed back home in College Station. Th

'We can still make this season real, real special.' Ainias Smith, Edgerrin Cooper, and Bryce Anderson recap win over South Carolina, and the path forward

As the dust settles on Week 9 of the college football season, the Bonham Trophy is back in College Station courtesy of Texas A&M’s (5-3, 3-2 SEC) 30-17 win over South Carolina (2-6, 1-5 SEC). Is it safe to say the Aggies are officially back? Well, they’re back into the win column at least, thanks to a nice blend of elite defense and a relatively improved offense in Saturday’s win. But after two straight disheartening losses, A&M will gladly take a double-digit win over the Gamecocks. After all,

Texas A&M basketball locked in as a top-five seed in ESPN's preseason bracketology

Someone check the calendar, is it opposite day? It must be because Texas A&M got some well-deserved respect from Joe Lunardi in his early ESPN bracketology projections. As Aggie fans know, Lunardi’s relationship with A&M basketball has been, contentious, at best. College basketball is still just around the corner, but it’s never too early to take a pulse check on how the Aggies fare in the latest preseason rankings. One of those staple gauges is none other than ESPN’s bracketology. Joe Lunardi

Three bold predictions for Texas A&M vs. South Carolina in Week 9

Much has been about the stakes at play and the negative stigma coming off back-to-back losses, but we’re flipping the script. If anything, Saturday’s game could mark an emphatic turnaround for this football team, and with it could come some notable performances.

ESPN updates Texas A&M's FPI ranking following the bye week

Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) is fresh off its bye week as the team prepares to host South Carolina from inside Kyle Field.

Five storylines to watch as Texas A&M faces South Carolina in Week 9

Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) is fresh off its bye week, ready to welcome South Carolina (2-5, 1-4 SEC) to Kyle Field on Saturday. A victory in Week 9 would not only get them back into the win column, but it could very well save their season. That latter statement was not meant to be dramatic. In reality, A&M’s season is treading on thin ice after suffering back-to-back conference losses. The College Football Playoff and a run at winning the SEC West might be out the door, but there’s still very muc

Texas A&M Week 9 Opponent Preview: South Carolina Gamecocks

As Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) emerges from their bye week, the stakes could not be higher as they seek to close out the season strong. On deck is South Carolina (2-5, 1-4 SEC), who, despite what their records suggest, will provide an ample challenge for an Aggies team that has been in a rut. More accurately, it’s been A&M’s offense that has been stuck in the mud and in need of a spark. Truth be told, the Aggies couldn’t have asked for a better bounce-back opponent than the Gamecocks. South Caroli

'We can still have a very successful season.' Jimbo Fisher believes A&M can finish strong, starting with South Carolina

All eyes will be on Texas A&M (4-3, 2-2 SEC) as they welcome South Carolina (2-5, 1-4 SEC) to Kyle Field this weekend. As you can tell by their records, the must-watch matchup won’t be because of their track record of success this season. If anything, Saturday’s matchup marks an unofficial “do or die” game for Jimbo Fisher as it pertains to his future in Aggieland. After the Aggies suffered back-to-back losses before the bye week, the slip-ups have essentially wiped away a shot at the College F
