South Carolina gets another chance to keep its momentum rolling Saturday afternoon when Texas A&M comes to Williams-Brice Stadium.
The Gamecocks enter the Nov. 7 matchup at 5-3 overall and 3-3 in the SEC, riding a three-game winning streak that has all come in conference play. That run includes last week’s 42-25 win at Oklahoma.
Texas A&M arrives at 4-4 and 1-4 in SEC play. The Aggies have one league victory this season, a win over Arkansas, and their other four conference losses have all come by double digits.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. in Columbia.
The game will air nationally on ESPN. Roy Philpott and Brock Osweiler will be on the call from the booth, with Stormy Buonantony reporting from the sideline. Streaming is available through Fubo, which offers a free trial for new subscribers.
BetMGM listed South Carolina as a 6.5-point favorite Friday, Nov. 6, with the over/under set at 52.5 points. Owen Hewitt picked South Carolina to win 31-21, writing: "South Carolina should be able to take advantage of a favorable defensive matchup at home, even with Fuller sidelined. The Gamecocks’ defensive unit should be able to contain a struggling Aggies’ offense to get South Carolina’s sixth win and secure bowl eligibility."
South Carolina’s remaining schedule after Texas A&M includes a Nov. 14 trip to Arkansas at 7:45 p.m. on SEC Network, then games against Georgia on Nov. 21, Clemson on Nov. 28, and the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta on Dec. 5.

Collins made the visit worth Staleys time, leading American with 23 points even in a loss to Clemson. For Gamecocks fans, it was another reminder that Staleys basketball world stretches well beyond Columbia, and that her support for the people in it can show up in unexpected places. [Read more 🡒]
South Carolina Gets A Perfect Spot To Keep Rolling At Home
Texas A&M is walking into a difficult setup in Columbia, where the Aggies will face South Carolina on the Gamecocks homecoming weekend at Williams-Brice Stadium. It is the kind of spot that can magnify everything about a road team, especially one still searching for its first road win and coming off three straight away losses.
South Carolina, meanwhile, has earned the chance to enjoy the moment. The Gamecocks have won three straight and pushed themselves up to No. 21 in the College Football Playoff rankings, giving this home date a little more weight than the usual late-season crowd scene. With momentum on their side and the building likely to be lively, they have a chance to keep turning home field into something more than just a backdrop. [Read more 🡒]
Gamecocks Get An Early Test As Strong Start Meets A Tougher Challenge
South Carolinas second game of the 2026-27 season brings a different kind of early-season checkup to Colonial Life Arena, with Southeast Missouri State arriving after a 2-0 start of its own. The Gamecocks opened with a win over Stetson, and now they get a Redhawks team that has already handled Lipscomb and Webster, making this a more revealing early test than a typical nonconference follow-up.
For South Carolina, the matchup offers a chance to see how the first win holds up against a team that has already found some rhythm, while SEMO gets a shot at a Power Four road environment this early in the year. Broadcast details are part of the setup, but the bigger draw is the contrast in momentum, with both teams bringing recent success into a game that should offer a better read on where each stands right now.
