Texas A&M returns from its bye week Saturday, traveling to Columbia to face No. 23 South Carolina at Williams-Brice Stadium.

The Aggies enter the matchup 4-4 overall and 1-4 in SEC play following a 31-20 loss to Alabama on Oct. 24. Texas A&M has struggled against conference competition, particularly on the road, where it scored just six points in losses to LSU and Missouri.

South Carolina enters the matchup 5-3 and riding a three-game winning streak. The Gamecocks have found success behind dual-threat quarterback LaNorris Sellers, whose ability to extend plays and create opportunities with his legs presents another challenge for Texas A&M's defense.

Both teams have plenty to play for as the regular season enters its final stretch. South Carolina enters Saturday as roughly a touchdown favorite, and most national experts expect the Gamecocks to come away with the victory. However, at least one analyst believes the Aggies can pull off the upset.

For Texas A&M, Saturday offers a chance to change the narrative around its struggles in SEC play. The Aggies have shown flashes of offensive potential but have yet to put together a complete road performance against a conference opponent. Coming off a bye week, Mike Elko's team will look to make the necessary adjustments and deliver a more consistent effort against the Gamecocks.

Texas A&M leads the all-time series 10-2 but has lost its last two meetings in Columbia. Ending that road drought would give Mike Elko's team a much-needed SEC victory and provide momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
