Marcel Reed threw for a career-high 439 yards and three touchdowns and No. 3 Texas A&M rallied from a 27-point halftime deficit to remain undefeated with a 31-30 victory over South Carolina on Saturday. "I'm not lost for words very much, but I was lost for words with the team in the locker room after the game," coach Mike Elko said. "A lot of that emotion was just pride in who they were, how they conducted themselves. There's not a lot of teams that have a culture and a core that will just keep going." The comeback was the biggest in school history, eclipsing a 21-point rally by a Johnny Manziel-led team in a 52-48 win in the 2013 Chick-Fil-A Bowl over Duke. Entering Saturday, teams were 0-286 in Southeastern Conference play since 2004 when trailing by 27 points or more. Reed bounced back from an awful first half where he was intercepted twice and had a fumble returned for a score to put the Aggies in a 30-3 hole with a dazzling second half to keep Texas A&M (10-0, 7-0, No. 3 CFP) on track for its first trip to the College Football Playoff. They're 10-0 for the first time since 1992.

Last season, Texas A&M had a seven-game winning streak entering the game against South Carolina before a 44-20 defeat sent the team into a downward spiral that knocked them out of contention to reach the playoff. "We wanted revenge on this team," Reed said. "They put us out of the question last year, and they could have put us in a bad position this year... we got this win, and it was important for us." The Aggies took the lead for the first time on a 4-yard run by EJ Smith with about 11 minutes left. Texas A&M had a first down at the 1 after that, but Jamarion Morrow fumbled on a trick play and the Gamecocks recovered with about three minutes to go. Dalton Brooks and Cashius Howell sacked LaNorris Sellers on consecutive plays to bring up fourth-and-16 with about 90 seconds to go. Sellers scrambled on fourth down and was stopped short of the first down marker to seal the victory. "It wasn't how we drew it up," linebacker Taurean York said. "But we found a way to stick together and figure out how to win the game." Sellers threw for 246 yards with two touchdowns and an interception for South Carolina (3-7, 1-7), which lost a fifth straight game. - Texas AM/AP College Football

Texas A&M is finalizing a new six-year contract with Mike Elko that is expected to make him one of the five highest-paid coaches in college football, sources confirmed to ESPN on Saturday. According to sources, the new deal, which runs from 2026 through 2031, will average more than $11 million per season. Elko, in his second year since arriving from Duke, has led Texas A&M to a potentially historic season. The 9-0 Aggies are No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings and are facing South Carolina on Saturday. A win would give Texas A&M its first 10-win season since 2012 and second since 2000. The Aggies haven't started 10-0 in a season since 1992, which has happened only three times in school history. Elko, 48, was the ACC Coach of the Year at Duke in 2022 and is 17-5 in two seasons in College Station. He previously was the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M under Jimbo Fisher from 2018 to 2021. Yahoo Sports first reported Texas A&M finalizing Elko's new deal. - ESPN College Football

Marcel Reed threw for 221 yards and two touchdowns, Texas A&M's hounding defense made for a forgettable first start for Missouri quarterback Matt Zollers, and the third-ranked Aggies beat the No. 19 Tigers 38-17 on Saturday to remain undefeated. Rueben Owens II added 102 yards rushing and a pair of clinching touchdown runs in the fourth quarter, as the Aggies (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference, No. 3 CFP) continued their best start since 1992 with their third consecutive victory over Missouri. "You know, from a CEO perspective, I believe this is what this program is capable of. This is why we're here. We believe the ceiling of this program is really high," Aggies coach Mike Elko said. "This is what everyone has been talking about." Zollers, starting in place of injured Beau Pribula, was just 7 of 22 for 77 yards, despite getting plenty of help from his rushing attack. Jamal Roberts ran for 110 yards and a touchdown, and Ahmad Hardy added 109 yards and another score, as the Tigers (6-3, 2-3, No. 22) piled up 207 yards on the ground. "That's one of the toughest locker rooms I've been in," Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz said, "because we all believed that we were going to win. We all believed we were going to win. They fought like they were going to win." Missouri had been in every game this season, including close losses to No. 4 Alabama and No. 15 Vanderbilt.

But losing Pribula to a season-ending injury against the Commodores left the 19-year-old Zollers to make his first start against the Aggies. It was a predictably tough task. The first true freshman to start for Missouri since Drew Lock a decade ago, Zollers spent most of the game simply trying to stay upright. And on the rare occasion that he had time to throw, Zollers either overshot hits targets or threw it into the turf, resulting in a humbling halftime line: 3 of 11 for 31 yards, two sacks and a fumble that was nearly returned for a touchdown. "We let him down as coaches tonight with the protection plan," Drinkwitz said. In fact, Zollers' fumble late in the first half may have been the tipping point in the game. - Texas AM/AP College Football

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

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

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

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
