Texas A&M Loses Star Running Back to Gruesome Knee Injury
Aggies' Season Takes a Hit as Devon Achane Suffers Season-Ending Injury
South Carolina Defense Dealt Devastating Blow to A&M's Offensive Hopes
College Station, TX - Texas A&M's hopes of a successful 2023 season took a major hit on Saturday night as star running back Devon Achane suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Aggies' 24-17 loss to South Carolina.
Achane, who entered the game as one of the nation's most dynamic playmakers, was injured on a carry in the second quarter. He was helped off the field and did not return to the game.
The injury is a huge blow to Texas A&M's offense. Achane was the team's leading rusher and receiver through the first three games of the season.
With Achane out, the Aggies will turn to sophomore running back Amari Daniels to carry the load. Daniels has rushed for 122 yards and a touchdown this season.
Texas A&M will also need to find a way to replace Achane's production in the passing game. He was the team's second-leading receiver with 15 catches for 216 yards and two touchdowns.
The Aggies will have a tough task ahead of them as they try to replace Achane's production. They will face No. 13 Mississippi State next week in College Station.
