Texas A&M and USC Prepare for Las Vegas Bowl

The Texas A&M Aggies will be significantly shorthanded in their upcoming Las Vegas Bowl against the USC Trojans, missing key players including starting corner Will Lee III and running back Amari Daniels due to injuries. Daniels, the team's second leading rusher with 661 yards this season, will not play, while Lee's status remains uncertain. In his absence, EJ Smith is expected to take on a larger role in the backfield. Meanwhile, the USC Trojans, who finished the season with a 6-6 record, will also face challenges, having benched their starting quarterback earlier in the season. Both teams are looking to overcome their respective player shortages in this critical matchup. The game is set for December 27, and updates on player statuses will follow as game time approaches.
