Texas A&M's Devon Achane to miss South Carolina game with ankle injury

Aggies running back is expected to be out for at least two weeks

### Injury is a blow to A&M's offense Texas A&M running back Devon Achane will miss Saturday's game against South Carolina with an ankle injury, according to multiple reports. Achane, who is one of the most dynamic players in the SEC, suffered the injury in the first half of last week's win over Arkansas. He did not return to the game. The injury is a significant blow to A&M's offense. Achane is the team's leading rusher with 580 yards and six touchdowns on the season. He is also a dangerous receiver out of the backfield, with 19 catches for 211 yards and three touchdowns. In Achane's absence, A&M will likely turn to sophomore Amari Daniels and freshman Le'Veon Moss to carry the load in the backfield. Daniels has 256 yards and two touchdowns on the season, while Moss has 173 yards and two touchdowns. The Aggies will need to find a way to replace Achane's production if they want to beat South Carolina. The Gamecocks have a solid defense that is ranked 25th in the country in scoring defense. A&M is a 6.5-point favorite in the game. The game will be televised on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. ET. ### Additional details * Achane is expected to miss at least two weeks with the injury. * He is undergoing further evaluation to determine the extent of the injury. * A&M is hopeful that Achane will be able to return for the team's game against Ole Miss on October 8. * The Aggies are 3-1 on the season and are ranked 22nd in the AP Top 25. * South Carolina is 2-2 on the season and is ranked 24th in the AP Top 25.
