Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed will remain in the starting role after the No. 23 Aggies were defeated 35-6 by No. 10 LSU. Coach Mike Elko said he is not weighing a change at quarterback, responding, "No," when asked whether Reed could be benched. TexAgs shared the exchange on X, and Yahoo Sports reported it.
Reed completed 10 of 26 attempts for 106 yards against LSU and had one interception. His 38.4% completion rate was described in the report as possibly the lowest of his college career. Through four games this season, he has thrown for 738 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions.
He has completed 55.4% of his passes, a career-low rate, while rushing for 104 yards and one touchdown.
The current figures come after Reed produced 3,169 passing yards and 25 touchdowns in the previous season. Texas A&M is scheduled to face Arkansas in Week 5. The Razorbacks are also 2-2, and kickoff is scheduled for Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. EST.
