South Carolina (5-2, 2-2) will be looking to get bowl eligible and to win its fifth straight game while simultaneously ending a three-game skid to the Tigers.

The Gamecocks raced to a 17-0 lead and then held on to beat the Aggies for the first time in school history in front of a capacity crowd at Williams-Brice Stadium last night.

Missouri (3-4, 1-3 SEC) won its first SEC game of the season on Saturday, defeating Vanderbilt 17-14 in Columbia, Mo.

The two teams are set for a 4 p.m. kickoff at Williams-Brice Stadium this upcoming Saturday with SEC Network carrying the SEC East matchup.

Shane Beamer proud of South Carolina’s fight in first win ever over Texas A&M

By Collyn Taylor

A month ago, Shane Beamer sat in the South Carolina postgame locker room coming off a shellacking to top-ranked Georgia. There, he snipped back at a question about his team giving up in the second half of the blowout loss.  

The tone Saturday night, his hat still wet with the Gatorade his team doused him with, was vastly different.

“I’m so proud of their fight. They never flinch. It’s a really, really special group of kids in that locker room and I’m happy for them. It’s a little over a month ago we sat in here after the Georgia game and got asked if I sensed any quit in this football team. Does that look like this team quit?” Beamer said, matter-of-factly.

“Since that day we’ve won four straight for the first time since 2013. We just beat Kentucky on the road in Lexington for the first time since 2012. Then we just beat Texas A&M for the first time ever. So no, there’s no quit in this team. We have a bunch of freaking fighters on this team.” 

The Gamecocks exorcized some demons Saturday night, beating Texas A&M 30-24 for the first win in program history against the Aggies.
