The Texas A&M Aggies were expected to head into this weekend’s clash with the LSU Tigers as an unbeaten team. Instead, they’re 2-1 after a disappointing loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.
Quarterback Marcel Reed struggled on Saturday, completing just 53.1% of his passes (26/49) for only 236 yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions. Ahead of the game against LSU, head coach Mike Elko supported his starting passer in wake of his bad outing.
“I have a lot of confidence in Marcel,” Elko told reporters. “I believe in Marcel, and Marcel is our quarterback.”
Mike Elko: "I have a lot of confidence in Marcel. I believe in Marcel, and Marcel is our quarterback."
— TexAgs (@TexAgs) September 21, 2026While Elko has his signal-caller’s back, fans are split. Fans acknowledge Reed’s flaws, and some believe the team would be best moving on. However, there’s not really a clear answer for who should be QB1 in his place. Others think the Aggies and Reed could work things out if they re-designed their offense.

— BigTex2 (@Tex2Big) September 21, 2026The Aggie Nation is losing confidence in YOU Coach when you say things like this. We will be lucky to be 4-8 this season with his erratic performance.

— Jason (@TxCoastJason) September 21, 2026This tells me you dont have a good enough backup to step in and just be average……not great, you just need average. Marcel is terrible right now.
— Paint the SEZ (@westtexastough) September 21, 2026Kind of late to the game here, but why not design an offense that your qb can actually run? He seems to work best in the two minute drill.
— 5 dollar shake (America 1st!) (@RoTuFl17) September 21, 2026Perhaps a return to Death Valley will awaken Reed. Last year in Baton Rouge, Reed recorded 310 total yards and 4 touchdowns in Texas A&M’s 49-25 win over LSU. He also had 2 interceptions in that game, which are mistakes that he won’t be able to afford against this year’s Tiger team. A strong performance on Saturday night, though (7:30 p.m. E.T., ABC) would presumably put him back in Gig Em’s good graces.
