Texas A&M will keep Marcel Reed as its starting quarterback for now, coach Mike Elko said after the No. 23 Aggies fell 35-6 to No. 10 LSU. Asked if Reed could be benched, Elko answered, "No." TexAgs posted the exchange on X, and Yahoo Sports reported it.
Reed completed 10 of 26 throws against LSU, producing 106 yards and one interception. His 38.4% completion mark in that game was identified in the report as possibly the lowest of his college career.
Across four games this season, Reed has 738 passing yards, six touchdown passes and four interceptions. He has completed 55.4% of his attempts, a career-low figure, while adding 104 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown. Last season, he passed for 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns.
Texas A&M is scheduled to face Arkansas in Week 5 on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. EST. The Razorbacks also enter the game with a 2-2 record.
