Didn`t Alabama only have 68 yards rushing against them? They have the talent, don`t know what has happened to them. Our defense stood up when they needed to. Gave up 3 FG`s, no TD`s. Not the best offensive performance we`ve had, of course, but it was enough. Kudos to Sellers for toughing it out.

Texas A&M has the 3rd highest NIL spending in the SEC, just behind Texas and LSU. They have talent, they just havent put it together this year. They played Bama hard and had the lead going into the 4th quarter. I think they are better than their record indicates.

They have a good defense. Terrible offense.

They should be dominating with Sellers injured. Their offense is abysmal.


We didn't play well. Actually thought the Aggies looked better than they have looked. I think their Bye week helped them a little, especially the QB.


But I have seen us play a ton of games where we didn't look good and lost. Glad to see one where we don't look good and win.

He had good numbers, but rifled his last 2 passes to end the game. You throw a fade in those instances and try to hit something, but not every QB can throw the fade.
He rifled at least the last one because we were all up in his business from the snap. He didn’t have much of a choice.

I think it's pretty apparent that they are not a good team. Not sure why there's so much discussion about it. They are tied for dead last in the conference with Arkansas and Vandy.

And they still play Tennessee, OU and Texas. There's a real chance they could finish 1-8.

I suppose you can argue they're better than their record, but that's highly subjective. They do have a good defense. No argument there. But good TEAM? No.

Texas AM defeats have been against top 25 with the exception of Missouri which has been in the top 25 this season. I think there would be chance they would beat Auburn, Florida, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt if those teams played Texas AM this season. I think they beat Oklahoma.

They have 4 wins on the season: Missouri State (terrible team), Arizona State (decent team), Citadel (terrible team), Arkansas (terrible team). They are basically us last year, and we sucked.

The matchup with OU will be interesting as the teams seems to be mirrors of each other: good defenses, pathetic offenses.

The final score might be 5-3.

They may not have had success this year, but there were a lot of future NFL players wearing ATM helmets tonight. Im thrilled to get this win. This was the kind of game Gamecocks have been losing my entire half-century life.

Not sure I understand that there question.

I do not think A&M is a bad football team, by a long shot, in spite of their record. They are big, tough, hard hitting and quick, they played with focus and were well coached as usual. They had an excellent game plan and were hurting us in the areas where we do not match up well with them. To label them as ‘not a good football team’ is kind of silly imo, and I view it as a passive aggressive indirect swipe at Beamer to throw shade on our team and results which again, is kind of silly.
They are a bad football team with a bunch of good players. That's why it was such a worrisome game. By the records it was one we should/had to win, but they had the players to make things really difficult.

A&M is a good team with red zone issues.

We're a good team with some standout players.

I'm glad we survived with the injury to our best player.
