Marcel Reed passed for two touchdowns and ran for two more scores, and No. 3 Texas A&M turned a slim halftime deficit into a dominant 49-25 victory over 20th-ranked LSU on Saturday night. KC Conception caught one of Reed's TD tosses and returned a third-quarter punt 79 yards for another score for the unbeaten Aggies (8-0, 5-0 SEC). They snapped a six-game skid in LSU's Tiger Stadium, winning there for the first time since 1994. A&M is off to its best start since the 1992 Aggies went 12-0 in the regular season before losing to Notre Dame in the Cotton Bowl. Reed passed for 202 yards and rushed for 108, highlighted by his 41-yard TD scramble, as he continues to build a case for Heisman Trophy consideration.

Reed's other touchdown pass was a short flip to running back Jamarion Morrow, who covered most of the play's 24 yards after the catch. Morrow added an 11-yard TD rushing in the fourth quarter. Garrett Nussmeier, who eschewed the 2025 NFL draft to return to LSU (5-3, 2-3), saw his highly anticipated senior season continue to crumble. He passed for 168 yards, including a short TD pass to Trey'Dez Green, but the Tigers' offense could not keep up with Reed and Co. for 60 minutes. LSU led 18-14 at halftime, thanks in large part to big special teams and defensive plays in the second quarter. Jhase Thomas blocked an Aggies punt through the end zone for a safety. A.J. Haulcy's interception in the end zone set up freshman Harlem Berry's 7-yard touchdown run that gave LSU a 15-14 lead. Soon after, linebacker Harold Perkins intercepted a deflected pass near midfield. But LSU stalled in the red zone and settled for Damian Ramos' field goal for an 18-14 halftime lead. - Texas AM/AP College Football

Marcel Reed threw for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and ran for 55 yards and another score as No. 4 Texas A&M held on to beat Arkansas 45-42 on Saturday and keep its perfect season going. The Aggies (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) have opened with seven wins for the first time since 1994, when they finished 10-0-1. With No. 9 Georgia's 43-35 win over No. 5 Mississippi earlier Saturday, Texas A&M is the only remaining unbeaten team in the SEC. The Aggies continued their dominance in the series with the Razorbacks (2-5, 0-3), winning for the 13th time in the last 14 meetings. Texas A&M scored on seven of nine completed rives and totaled 497 yards of offense. Leading 38-35 with less than 10 minutes remaining and facing serious game pressure after Taylen Green's four-yard touchdown pass to Jaden Platt, Texas A&M's EJ Smith had a two-yard conversion on fourth-and-1 from the Aggies' 34 to extend a critical drive.

Reed then found Ashton Bethel-Roman for 37 yards to the Arkansas 27, and Reuben Owens II scored on a 12-yard run four plays later to extend the lead to 10. With 10 seconds to play, Green hit CJ Brown for a four-yard score to pull the Razorbacks back within three. Texas A&M recovered the ensuing onside kick to seal the win. Owens, the Aggies' primary ball carrier in place of the injured Le'Veon Moss, finished with 69 yards rushing and two touchdowns. Bethel-Roman had 83 yards receiving and a score, KC Concepcion added five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown, and Nate Boerkircher had a one-yard touchdown catch. Green threw for 256 yards and three scores and ran for 89 yards and two more touchdowns, and Mike Washington rushed for a season-high 147 yards for Arkansas in its fifth straight loss. - Texas AM/AP College Football

MIDSEASON AP SEC TOP DEFENSIVE PLAYER: Texas A&M defensive end Cashius Howell leads with SEC with eight sacks. He recorded three sacks in a 31-9 win over Mississippi State on Oct. 4 and is a big reason the No. 4 Aggies are undefeated and are the SEC's highest ranked team. - AP College Football

10/13/25 - LeVeon Moss, Sr/2026, Texas AM, 5-11, 210 (DS#2 RB) + More +

Texas A&M running back Le'Veon Moss will miss a significant period of time with an ankle injury. Coach Mike Elko announced the injury Monday after the team's leading rusher was injured in the first half of Saturday's win over Florida that improved the fourth-ranked Aggies to 6-0. "He's going to have to go get it looked at, and we'll kind of figure out where it's at," Elko said. "It certainly will not end his season, but it's going to be a significant amount of time." Moss had five carries for 46 yards, highlighted by a 22-yard TD run before he was injured in the second quarter Saturday. He leads the Aggies with 70 carries for 389 yards and six touchdowns. It's the second straight season where he's sustained a significant injury after he missed the last four games last season with a knee injury.

"I love Le'Veon," Elko said. "I wish Le'Veon was healthy. We're going to miss him. He's been a warrior for this program. He's given us everything he had to get ready for this season. I hope this goes as fast and as smooth as it can, but injuries are a part of SEC football. And if we're going to allow injuries to impact or derail things, we can't do that." With Moss out the Aggies will make Rueben Owens II, a sophomore who is second on the team with 327 yards rushing, their primary ball carrier. He had had 51 yards rushing and scored his first touchdown of the season Saturday, a week after he had a career-high 142 yards rushing in a win over Mississippi State. - AP College Football

10/11/25 - Marcel Reed, rSo/2028, Texas AM, 6-1, 185 (DS#6 QB) + More +

Marcel Reed threw for 234 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score as No. 5 Texas A&M continued its perfect start with a 34-17 victory over Florida on Saturday night. It's the first 6-0 start for the Aggies since 2016 and they improved to 3-0 in Southeastern Conference play. Florida (2-4, 1-2) was unable to build off last week's 29-21 upset over then-No. 9 Texas that snapped a three-game skid as coach Billy Napier fell to 0-14 on the road against ranked opponents. Texas A&M scored touchdowns on its first three possessions but managed only a field goal after that until Rueben Owens scored on a 2-yard run that made it 31-17 with about 4 1/2 minutes to go. That score came after Florida couldn't take advantage of a turnover and Texas A&M took more than eight minutes off the clock on the drive. The Aggies led by 7 when Jordan Castell intercepted Reed in the end zone on the first play of the fourth quarter.

DJ Lagway's pass was deflected and fell incomplete on fourth-and-6 near midfield to give Texas A&M the ball back to start the drive that ended in the score by Owens. Dayon Hayes sacked Lagway and forced a fumble that the Aggies recovered on the first play of Florida's next drive and they tacked on a field goal to seal the victory. The Gators looked good early and it was tied at 14 at the end of the first quarter before Texas A&M outscored them 20-3 the rest of the way. Lagway threw for 245 yards with two touchdowns and Vernell Brown III had six receptions for 77 yards as the Gators faced their fourth straight opponent ranked in the top 10 of the AP poll. The Aggies had 183 yards rushing a week after running for a season-high 303 yards despite starter Le'Veon Moss leaving before halftime with an apparent injury. Owens ran for 51 yards and Moss had five carries for 46 yards and a touchdown before limping off the field in the second quarter. - Texas AM/AP College Football

Le'Veon Moss ran for a career-high 139 yards and a touchdown and No. 9 Texas A&M held off Auburn 16-10 on Saturday to improve to 4-0 for the first time since 2016. Texas A&M's offense struggled at times, but the defense was solid all day, holding the Tigers to 176 yards and 0 of 12 on third-down attempts. Texas A&M (4-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference) was driving in the fourth when Marcel Reed's pass was tipped and intercepted by Xavier Atkins, who returned it 73 yards to the 2. Jackson Arnold scrambled in for the score on the next play to get the Tigers to 13-10 with about 10 1/2 minutes to go. Auburn's defense got a stop after that, but the Tigers couldn't move the ball, with a sack by Cashius Howell forcing a punt less than six minutes left. It looked like the Aggies had a touchdown on their next drive when Reed connected with Mario Craver. But they were flagged for an ineligible player downfield to take the points away. They settled for a field goal that made it 16-10 with less than three minutes to go.

The Tigers got the ball back twice after that, but they punted the first time and Arnold was sacked on fourth down on their next possession and the Aggies ran out the clock to end it. Auburn (3-2, 0-2) entered the game ranked fifth in the nation by allowing just 58.2 yards rushing a game. But the Aggies piled up 145 yards rushing by halftime and finished with 207 yards rushing led by Moss averaging 6.6 yards a carry. The Aggies got a 1-yard TD run from Moss on their first possession to take an early lead. That score was set up by his 38-yard run on the previous play. Randy Bond made field goals of 33 and 49 yards in the second quarter after Auburn got on the board with one from 32 yards. Bond missed one from 50 yards at the end of the second quarter and his 49-yard attempt early in the third quarter was short. Reed threw for 207 yards and KC Concepcion had a season-high 113 yards receiving on seven catches. - Texas AM/AP College Football

WEEK 3 ASSOCIATED PRESS NATIONAL PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Mario Craver, Texas A&M ,...The Mississippi State transfer posted career highs with 207 yards on seven catches, including an 86-yard touchdown, in the Aggies' 41-40 win at Notre Dame. Craver is the nation's leading receiver after amassing over 100 yards in a third straight game. He's averaging 147.5 yards per game and 22.2 per catch and has four TDs. He scored the Aggies' first points against Notre Dame when he got past his defender to make a catch at the A&M 30, broke through three would-be tacklers at the 50 and ran down the sideline to complete the 86-yard play. Craver is the first player in program history to have a TD reception of at least 70 yards in two straight games. He had a 72-yarder against Utah State. His 173 receiving yards at halftime were the most in a half since Mike Evans had 182 in the first half against Auburn in 2013. - AP College Football

Texas A&M made a big jump into the top 10 of The Associated Press college football poll Sunday after its dramatic win at Notre Dame, and the Irish became the first team since 1988 to stay in the Top 25 with an 0-2 record. Ohio State, Penn State and LSU remained the top three teams, with Miami moving up to No. 4 and Georgia to No. 5 even after a close call at No. 15 Tennessee. Oregon slipped two spots to No. 6 despite a 20-point road win against Northwestern and was followed by Florida State, Texas, Illinois and the Aggies. Georgia Tech, Vanderbilt and Southern California made their season debuts in the Top 25. Ohio State tussled with Ohio into the middle of the third quarter of a 37-9 win and received 55 first-place votes, two fewer than last week. Penn State got five first-place votes, LSU got two, Miami got three and Oregon got one.

The Hurricanes' first-place votes are their first since getting three on Nov. 19, 2017. Alabama was rewarded for its 24-point home win against Wisconsin and moved up five spots to No. 14. Voters didn't punish Tennessee for its overtime home loss to Georgia and kept the Volunteers No. 15. Texas A&M was promoted six spots after it overcame a scary injury to safety Bryce Anderson, a blocked punt returned for a touchdown and 13 penalties to win 41-40 on Marcel Reed's fourth-and-goal pass to Nate Boerkircher with 11 seconds left. The Aggies, who opened with solid wins over UTSA and Utah State, are 3-0 for the first time since 2021 and have their highest ranking since they were No. 10 entering November last season. Notre Dame has lost its first two games, both against ranked opponents, by a total of four points. The Irish lost 27-24 at Miami and had an open date before Texas A&M visited. They fell from No. 8 to No. 24. The 1988 Michigan Wolverines, the previous team to start 0-2 and remain ranked, also had an extremely tough first two games. They entered the season No. 9 and lost to No. 13 Notre Dame 19-17, dropped to No. 15 and lost 31-30 at No. 1 Miami. Michigan was No. 19 the following week and went 9-0-1 the rest of the way. Other teams that started 0-2 and stayed in the rankings were 1984 Auburn, 1958 SMU, 1949 Missouri and 1948 Purdue. - AP College Football

Marcel Reed escaped pressure to throw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nate Boerkircher with 13 seconds left, Randy Bond kicked the extra point and No. 16 Texas A&M beat No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40 on Saturday night. "I don't think Nate had a target all game, but when his name was called, he was ready," Reed said. Texas A&M (3-0) beat a Top 25 team on the road for the first time since knocking off then-No. 3 Auburn on Nov. 8, 2014. The Aggies had lost 13 straight road games to ranked opponents. "I don't know that anything went to script in terms of how you want to go about winning a game on the road," said Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, a former Notre Dame assistant coach. "We just kept fighting, kept battling, kept scrapping. Ultimately, we made one more play than they did." Notre Dame dropped to 0-2 after playing in the national title game last season.

The Irish opened with a 24-27 loss at No. 5 Miami on Aug. 31. "You've got to go to work and practice and get better," coach Marcus Freeman said. "We're 0-2. So what do you control? You control getting better and getting ready for the next one. I can't sit here and dwell on being 0-2 as much as I need to dwell on how do we find ways to improve." Notre Dame pushed ahead 40-34 with 2:53 to go on Jeremiyah Love's 12-yard run. A botched snap on the extra point kept the lead at six. Texas A&M started at its 26 on the winning drive after a 99-yard kickoff return by Terry Bussey was negated by a holding penalty, but quickly reached Notre Dame territory. Mario Craver, who had an 86-yard TD reception in the first quarter, gained 34 yards on a pass from Reed to the 37. Texas A&M reached the Notre Dame 10 and survived back-to-back penalties before the winning score. Reed was 17 of 37 for a career-high 360 yards and two touchdowns. Carver caught seven passes for 207 yards. Love gained 94 yards on 23 carries, and quarterback C.J. Carr was 20 of 32 with a touchdown and an interception. - Texas AM/AP College Football

Texas A&M safety Bryce Anderson was carted off the field and taken to a hospital after sustaining an injury with 58 seconds left in the first half against Notre Dame on Saturday. Anderson gave a thumps-up sign as he was driven off the field and Texas A&M said he had all feeling in all his limbs. Anderson was injured making a tackle on tight end Eli Raridon, with fellow Aggies defensive back Will Lee III making contact with Anderson and Raridon.

Anderson was motionless on the field for about 10 minutes as medical staff attended to him. Texas A&M players and Notre Dame players gathered in prayer at a hushed Notre Dame Stadium. The entire Texas A&M team ran over to Anderson - wearing a neck brace - after he was placed on the cart. Anderson is a 5-foot-10, 186-pound senior from Beaumont, Texas. He was tied for the team lead in tackles with six when he left the game, helping the No. 16 Aggies take a 28-24 halftime lead over the No. 8 Fighting Irish. - AP College Football
