Texas A&M struggles in 17-9 loss at South Carolina

Texas A&M suffered a 17-9 loss to South Carolina on November 7, 2026, adding pressure on head coach Mike Elko amid a disappointing season. Despite quarterback Marcel Reed's strong performance, completing 25 of 43 passes for 251 yards, the Aggies' offense struggled to find the end zone. Rueben Owens II contributed 137 rushing yards, but key drops from wide receiver Isaiah Horton cost Texas A&M potential scoring opportunities. The defense showed improvement, with Bryce Perry-Wright leading the team with two tackles and a sack, though 10 missed tackles hampered their effort. A five-star recruit recently decommitted from the program, illustrating the ongoing challenges for Elko and his staff as they navigate the remainder of the season.
