I see far more scoring than the oddsmaker sees in this matchup.
South Carolina averaged 34.1 points last year and has 8 starters back. Steve Spurrier has a well designed offense that doesn't need departed quarterback Connor Shaw to be successful especially when facing such a bad defense as the Aggies. Texas A&M surrendered more than 32 points last year and finished 109th in yardage. Its defense doesn't look any better this year.
The Aggies are going to continue to put up points even without Johnny Manziel. New starting quarterback Kenny Hill can run and throw at a level close to Manziel's. The Aggies have good running backs and two tough to cover receivers in 6-foot-6, 277-pound tight end Cam Clear and Ricky Seals-Jones, who is 6-5, 235. The Aggies use them as double tight ends causing serious matchup problems.
Keep in mind, too, the Gamecocks are without last year defensive stars Jadeveon Clowney and Kelcey Quarles.
