Texas A&M (5-2, 2-2 SEC) followed up its upset win over then top-ranked Alabama 2 weeks ago with a dominating 35-14 victory at Missouri last Saturday.
This week, the No. 17 Aggies will be heavy favorites again, as South Carolina visits College Station on Saturday night.
While A&M is a 21-point favorite over the Gamecocks, head coach Jimbo Fisher doesn’t want to hear about it.
He wants his team to play with the same passion and effort that it did and against the Crimson Tide, which he felt his team did last Saturday against the Tigers.
“You have to fight against that,” said Fisher during the SEC coaches teleconference when asked about a potential letdown. “Human nature is to want to relax. As a coach, that’s something you have to fight against constantly.”
The Aggies and the Gamecocks are set for a 7:30 p.m. EST kickoff and the game will be televised by the SEC Network.
