Celebration of a second one-point win this season was short-lived for undefeated Texas A&M.A fourth victory by six points or less became reality in a stirring comeback by the Aggies (10-0) to take down South Carolina, 31-30. It sets up the SEC leaders for a stretch of two games in six days, starting Saturday at home against Samford (1-10).The looming monster to close the regular season is a Black Friday trip to Austin where rival Texas would be thrilled to play Grinch and boost its shrinking at-large playoff chances.Aggies coach Mike Elko said this week won’t be about combined prep for two games. His focus is stressing to players the risk of distraction — Senior Day at Kyle Field among them, talk of a trap or getting caught peeking ahead to the Longhorns — and using the opportunity to exemplify the team standard regardless of opponent.”We talk a lot about playing to our standard, regardless of opponent. I told the guys this morning: It’s not something we’ve been good enough at,” Elko said. “So this is an opportunity for us to take a maturity step and go out there and play the game at the level that we’re capable of playing it regardless of who we’re playing. That’s gonna matter a lot for me in terms of how we approach this one.”Elko isn’t completely ignoring the thrilling 27-point comeback to beat the Gamecocks and spare the season’s biggest goals of reaching the SEC Championship, College Football Playoff and the big game at the end in Miami.”You can think back to a lot of our recent seasons, and you can point at games that we lost. That had we won would have completely changed the script on the season, right?” Elko said. “Whether that was last year against Auburn or last year against Notre Dame, where we had chances in the fourth quarter and we didn’t get the job done. And that ultimately was the reason why it was not as successful a season, right?”The Aggies are 10-0 for the first time since 1992.An immense amount of ground is left for Texas A&M to cover to reach its first SEC Championship game. With wins over Samford and Texas, the Aggies are in that game. But a loss in the final two weeks would mean A&M can only play for the conference title if both Alabama (vs. Auburn) and Ole Miss (vs. Mississippi State) trip in their rivalry weekend games.A comeback bid for Samford fell short last week.Under the direction of interim head coach Scot Sloan, who was promoted from defensive coordinator on Nov. 10 for the final two games of the season, Samford hasn’t won in a month. The Bulldogs have lost four in a row and sit eighth in the Southern Conference on the heels of a two-touchdown loss against Austin Peay (30-16) last week. Samford trailed 30-3 entering the fourth quarter, the same deficit A&M faced at halftime against South Carolina.Playing up a level wasn’t pretty. Samford opened the season with a 42-7 loss at Baylor.Sloan is looking for a team willing to finish with fight even against the best team on Samford’s schedule. He said last week’s game boiled down to three plays that turned the outcome.”In a football game, you never know when they’re going to happen,” Sloan said. “It may happen in the first quarter, or it may happen at the end in a two-minute drive when the game’s on the line. I thought our guys did fight.”
