* USC is 3-0 all-time against Texas A&M, but the programs have not played since the 1977 Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl. The Trojans also beat the Aggies in the 1975 Liberty Bowl and in Los Angeles during the 1964 regular season.
* The Aggies and Trojans both beat LSU and lost to Notre Dame this season. Texas A&M opened its season with a home loss to the Fighting Irish and then won seven games in a row. The Aggies then lost their final three SEC games to South Carolina, Auburn and Texas.
* Texas A&M will be without 19 players who entered the transfer portal, though none ended the year as starters. The Aggies will be hit hard along the defensive line when it comes to NFL Draft opt outs. Defensive ends Nic Scourton and Shemar Stewart and defensive tackle Shemar Turner will all sit this game out. Scourton led the Aggies with five sacks and 14 tackles for loss. Stewart and Turner combined for 3.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss. Those three logged starts in all 12 regular season games for Texas A&M and Stewart and Scourton were the Aggies’ highest-graded defensive players according to PFF.
* Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed took over as the starter partway through the season. He finished the year completing 61% of his passes (121-for-198) for 1,572 yards and 12 touchdowns against four interceptions. He threw one interception in each of Texas A&M’s four final regular season games. Reed is a major running threat and rushed for 497 yards and six touchdowns this season.
