COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Kevin Sumlin has been here before. This time, the Texas A&M coach believes his ninth-ranked Aggies can keep rising past September.Texas A&M (4-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) looks to start 5-0 for the third straight season when it plays at South Carolina (2-2, 1-2) on Saturday. But those marks have been the high points of the past two years when the Aggies were waylaid by the SEC Western Division schedule, finishing 3-5 down the stretch in 2014 and 2015.Sumlins a lot more confident the Aggies can improve upon last season. They defeated then 17th-ranked Arkansas 45-24 last week.Guys understand that, Sumlin said. Have different perspective on that than maybe they did as freshmen and sophomores. Maybe they handle it little differently as juniors and seniors.Sumlin acknowledged maybe winning came too fast and too easily for his young team in 2014 and 2015. So he emphasized staying strong and not fading throughout the offseason.Guarantee things change? Sumlin said. No. Performance guarantees change.On the field, the Aggies have shown all the right moves.Graduate transfer quarterback Trevor Knight leads an offense thats averaging 43 points a game, third best in the SEC. Defensive ends Myles Garrett and Daeshon Hall have combined for 10 tackles for loss and power a group thats held opponents to 16 points a game, also third best in the league.We remember nobody was talking about us at the beginning of the season, receiver Christian Kirk said. Now, everybodys talking about us. Were 4-0, top 10 in the country. But weve got to forget about all that.The Texas A&M offense may have a difficult task putting up big numbers against the Gamecocks, who have given up 17 points a game so far in coach Will Muschamps first season. South Carolinas offense, dead last in the SEC, struggled with freshman quarterback Brandon McIlwain.Muschamp said McIlwain has played well and will continue to start.Im just trying to be very realistic; where we are and where were headed, Muschamp said. And moving forward with the guys that are going to do it the South Carolina way and thats with great effort, toughness and discipline, urgency and energy in everything we do.---Things to watch when No. 9 Texas A&M faces South Carolina.STREAKY STARTS: A victory by Texas A&M would make it 5-0 for a third straight season, something the program last accomplished in 1939-41. The Aggies are also looking to go 3-0 in conference playing, which they have not done since 2004 when they were in the Big 12.WHATS THE RUSH?: South Carolina has been slow to get its running game going. The Gamecocks are the lone SEC team averaging under 100 yards rushing this season (90.8 yards a game). The Gamecocks get some help with injured freshman Rico Dowdle expected to see his first college action.VAST DIFFERENCE: Part of Texas A&Ms success has come from its big-play attack while limiting the oppositions ability to make big plays. The Aggies have scored 11 touchdowns of 20 yards or more while allowing only one TD of 15 yards or longer this season.HOME STAND: South Carolina is done traveling for a while. The Texas A&M game starts a five-game home stand at Williams-Brice Stadium. The run includes the bye week, meaning the Gamecocks dont play on the road until Nov. 12 at Florida.OFFENSIVE POWER: Texas A&M is among three Football Bowl Subdivision teams with 1,000 yards passing and rushing. The Aggies have gained 1,107 yards through the air and 1,077 yards on the ground, joining No. 3 Louisville and Oregon in that productive club this season.---Online:AP College Football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org and AP-Top 25 Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Follow Pete Iacobelli at www.twitter.com/PIacobelli-AP Victor Mete Jersey .

The New Zealand Breakers have been handed some unwanted pre-Christmas news with experienced campaigner Tom Abercrombie ruled out of the NBL for up to six weeks.The swingman fractured his right hand in training, and scan results on Tuesday showed the extent of the injury and the need for him to have time out to allow the bone to heal.Coach Paul Henare says he feels for Abercrombie, describing him as one the Breakers most consistent players this season and nearing his best form.Henare says the silver lining is that Breakers arent in action again until they meet the Kings in Sydney on December 30, so have time to make adjustments.While Tom gets thhe right medical attention and support, our concentration has to be on the players we have available, he said.ddddddddddddI have every faith in their ability to get the job done while Tommy is out.
