11/22/25 - QB Marcel Reed, rSo/2028, Texas AM, (DS#6 QB)

Marcel Reed threw three touchdown passes in the first quarter before sitting down early in the second as No. 3 Texas A&M built a huge early lead and rolled to a 48-0 win over FCS school Samford on Saturday. Texas A&M is 11-0 for the first time since going 12-0 under coach R.C. Slocum in 1992 and looks to cap a perfect regular season when the Aggies visit rival No. 17 Texas on Friday. Reed moved the offense with ease against the Bulldogs, leading the Aggies to touchdowns on four of his five possessions. The performance came after he struggled in the first half last week against South Carolina, putting the Aggies in a 27-point hole before bouncing back to lead the biggest comeback in school history in the 31-30 victory. He threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Ashton Bethel-Roman on the first drive to put the Aggies on top 7-0. They made it 14-0 when KC Concepcion grabbed a 6-yard pass from Reed with about four minutes left in the first quarter. Bethel-Roman's second touchdown came on his second catch, a 58-yard reception that extended the lead to 21-0 near the end of the first. A 1-yard TD run by Amari Daniels early in the second made it 28-0.

Reed was replaced by Miles O'Neill on Texas A&M's next possession with just over 10 minutes left in the first half. Reed was 10 of 15 for 120 yards and his three touchdown passes give him 25 this season, which leads the Southeastern Conference. Daniels had nine carries for a career-high 106 yards in a game where Rueben Owens II dressed but did not play. Reed was far from the only starter who had a short day. Most of Texas A&M's starters were replaced in the second quarter after the Aggies built their commanding lead. Quincy Crittendon threw for 46 yards for Samford (1-11), which wraps up a tough season that led to coach Chris Hatcher being fired on Nov. 9. It was Samford's second game under offensive coordinator Scot Sloan, who took over as interim head coach before last week's 30-16 loss to Austin Peay. The Aggies outgained Samford 360-25 in the first half, where the Bulldogs had minus-2 passing yards. Texas A&M piled up 14 first downs before halftime while Samford had none. The Bulldogs didn't get a first down until gaining 27 yards on a short pass combined with a lateral with just over eight minutes left in the third quarter. They had a shot to score on that drive, but Jake Garner's 41-yard field goal attempt was blocked. - Texas AM/AP College Football
