2014 College Football Tips: Aggies at Gamecocks

August 28th 2014, 7:50pm, By: Johnny Houston

TEXAS A&M AGGIES AT SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS

Where: Williams-Brice Stadium, Columbia, SC
When: Friday 29th August 2014 at 8:00 AM AEST

College Football is back and today’s SEC marquee matchup is between the ninth ranked South Carolina Gamecocks and the 21st ranked Texas A&M Aggies.

The Aggies have lost Johnny Football (Manziel) to the Cleveland Browns and the Gamecocks will of course be without number 1 draft pick Jadeveon Clowney. This game will also be the first for the new SEC football television network. That’s how big football is in the south. 

The Aggies gave up 32 points a game last year and although they bring back quite a few starters, they are still a very young and inexperienced team. The Gamecocks have lost Clowney but will still be very solid on both sides of the ball.

The home crowd will be a huge factor for South Carolina.

The total is currently floating around 59.5 points which opened at 58.5. These were two high octane offenses last year, so the public will drive the total up and I believe there is value on the UNDER.

I see South Carolina taking a two touchdown lead into half time and then controlling the clock. They will just wear down this young defensive front and run right over the top of the Aggies.

BET ON: South Carolina Gamecocks at the line (-10.5)
