On November 8, South Carolina's Gamecocks secured a hard-fought 17-9 victory over Texas A&M, a win that brought them closer to the College Football Playoff.

Bucey, a starting player all season, made a significant impact with seven tackles and a pass breakup, while Hunt contributed 51 yards on three catches.

Despite the Gamecocks' strong effort, the victory came at a cost, as Shane Bucars ankle injury raised questions about his playing status in the following games and the team's playoff hopes.
