The Aggies went on the road and took care of business against the Gamecocks. Texas A&M now returns home to take on the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Aggies continue to look incredible on defense. While A&M has been surprising as a team this season, their defense has been even more surprising and very impressive. Lack of an acceptable defense was about to have Kevin Sumlin out the door and now A&M will probably be giving him a new contract at the end of the season. Not too many people would have seen Trevor Knight having such a positive effect on the offense, but he has and it has helped lead A&M to an 5-0 record to begin the season.

Texas A&M faces its toughest test of the season, so far, next week in College Station.
