Around the SEC Week 10

SEC Week 10 featured games between No. 10 Texas A&M and South Carolina, Florida and No. 2 Georgia, No. 7 Tennessee and Kentucky, and Vanderbilt and Auburn.

Aggies Upset

Unranked South Carolina absolutely demolished the Texas A&M Aggies with a 44-20 score. The Gamecocks handed Texas A&M its first loss in SEC play. South Carolina’s Quarterback, Freshman LaNorris Sellers, threw for 266 yards and rushed for 106 more. Running back Raheim Sanders, senior transfer from Arkansas, ran all over Aggies earning 236 total yards and rushed for two touchdowns.

The Aggies were the last undefeated team in SEC conference play. Aggies Quarterback Marcel Reed was intercepted in the fourth quarter and fumbled the football with three minutes remaining. Both events sealed their loss against the Gamecocks.

Next, Texas A&M will host New Mexico State on Nov. 16 and South Carolina plays at Vanderbilt on Saturday.

Florida-Georgia

With Graham Mertz out after tearing his ACL against Tennessee, Florida relied heavily on DJ Lagway to bring the Gators a win Saturday afternoon. Lagway started the game but was sitting on the sidelines during the second half with his leg wrapped. Lagway suffered a hamstring injury, however, Florida Head Coach Billy Napier isn’t ruling out the true freshman’s playing time at Texas. The Orange and Blue turned to Aidan Warner to step up and lead the way, but Florida took a 34-20 loss.

Final.
