Now, South Carolina faces a desperate Texas A&M Aggie team coming off a bye week following two consecutive losses. It is becoming evident that the Aggies will never reach their national championship aspirations if Jimbo Fisher is head coach.
It has been a tough third season for South Carolina Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer at the helm. In a way, Beamer has been a victim of his College Football odds success. Previously, Beamer produced unexpected bowl campaigns in his first two seasons on the job. But this year, the Gamecocks bowl prospects are dicey at best.
