Nobody is giving South Carolina (2-2, 1-2) much of a chance to upset No. 9 Texas A&M (4-0, 2-0) when the two teams get together at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday in Williams-Brice Stadium.

Kevin Sumlin has the Aggies rolling, while Will Muschamp is struggling to make the Gamecocks consistent winners in his first season at Columbia.

Here are five topics that are trending in the media on this game:

1. South Carolina has no offense: Muschamp had problems scoring points while the head coach at Florida. Those problems seem to have followed him up the coast to South Carolina as AP Sports Writer Pete Iacobelli wrote in The Charlotte Observer. Freshman QB Brandon McIlwain has been thrust into the starting role with limited success so far. The Gamecocks rank 124th of 128 FBS teams nationally in total offense, averaging 282.8 yards per game, and are even worse in scoring offense, averaging an SEC-low 14.3 points per game (127th in the FBS). That’s nearly a full touchdown less than the next-lowest scoring team in the SEC (LSU with 21.0).

2. Muschamp has clamped down on Sumlin’s offense: Although it’s only a two-game sample, Muschamp’s defenses have faired well against Sumlin’s offense. Carter Karels wrote about those struggles in his dallasnews.com article. The first matchup between the two was the Aggies’ first SEC game back in 2012. Muschamp’s Florida Gators held Johnny Manziel to 173 yards and 17 points in his first start as the Aggies’ quarterback in the Gators’ 20-17 victory at Kyle Field. Then last season as Auburn’s defensive coordinator, Muschamp’s group intercepted former Aggies QB Kyler Murray three times and held him to just 105 passing yards in the Tigers’ 26-10 upset at Kyle Field. Muschamp brings a South Carolina defense into Saturday’s game that ranks fifth in the SEC and 24th nationally in scoring defense, holding its four opponents below their season average.

3. Texas A&M defense is for real: John Chavis is making great strides in his second season as the Aggies’ defensive coordinator. Jeff Tarpley of 247Sports.com illustrates the positives. The Aggies come into Saturday’s game third in the SEC in scoring defense (16.0) and fifth in the conference in rushing defense (128.3), limiting three of the four opponents to 125 rushing yards or fewer. They are among the best in the country in averaging 10 tackles for loss per game. That’s an amazing turnaround from back-to-back seasons, 2013 and 2014, in which Texas A&M ranked dead last in the SEC in total defense. The Aggies have produced the last two SEC Defensive Player of the Week honorees in safeties Justin Evans and Armani Watts.

4. Aggies fast start has fizzled twice before: Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Texas A&M is 4-0 to start the season. Sound familiar? That’s because the Aggies have started the last three seasons at 4-0. However, in each of the last two seasons, the Aggies finished 4-5, putting Sumlin on the hot seat entering the 2016 campaign. It’s true that this year’s team has a little different feel than the previous two, as eluded to by Sumlin in his weekly press conference. Only time will tell if the Aggies can maintain the momentum for an entire season. Winning on Saturday would help in that endeavor.

5. Point spread keeps growing: This game opened with Texas A&M as a 15.5-point favorite to win it. As the week has gone on, that number has continued to rise, as noted by Josh Kendall of TheState.com. It’s between 17 and 18 points as the game nears. It’s the largest spread of any game the Gamecocks have played in this season.
