Why South Carolina can cover

On Oct. 14 versus Florida, Rattler went 23 of 30 with 313 yards and four passing touchdowns.

Senior receiver Xavier Legette (questionable, upper-body injury) is the main catalyst in the passing game. Legette has terrific speed and physicality to win those contested catches. The South Carolina native is third in the conference in receiving yards (736) on 38 receptions and three touchdowns. He's gone over 100 receiving yards in four outings thus far.

Why Texas A&M can cover

Texas A&M has two receivers with over 450 yards on the season who can exploit a struggling South Carolina secondary. Senior receiver Ainias Smith is explosive with the ball in his hands.

On Oct. 7 versus Alabama, Smith had four catches for 88 yards.

Sophomore receiver Evan Stewart provides the Aggies with another valuable playmaker. Stewart runs crisp routes and has secure hands. The Tennessee native leads the team in catches (31) but is tied first in both receiving yards (451) and receiving touchdowns (4). On Sept. 9 versus Miami, Stewart snagged 11 catches for 142 yards. See which team to pick here.
