Last week Mond passed Johnson's career completion mark of 650. After Saturday, Mond has completed 680 career passes. Mond completed 25 of 35 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns Saturday. His passer rating of 180.8 is the second highest of his career, bested only by his 202.4 performance against Mississippi State last season in a 23-17 win. "My heart hurts for my [Florida Gators] but credit to [Kellen Mond] for a great game," former Florida quarterback Tim Tebow tweeted. "Worked so hard for this moment in the offseason." Mond now looks to the career record for touchdown passes. He sits eight behind Johnson's record of 67.

After Saturday's game, Mond was presented with the game ball, which he said he will keep forever. However, it is after a career has come to a close that players can reflect on such accomplishments, A&M head coach Fisher said, a philosophy which Mond shares. "That's awesome," Fisher said of the record. "You sit back and look at records when you retire and you're done and you're proud of them. You achieve them as you go. Just like in a game, you don't worry about winning the game - you worry about the process of each play. What you accumulate in between you look at when it's all said and done, and that's what he's doing right now. That doesn't even phase him. "I'm very proud of him. He's making a lot of strides as a player, as a quarterback and as a leader in so many different ways. Still a lot of ball and a lot of growth we can still have." - Bryan/College Station Eagle

10/15/20 - *Isaiah Spiller, Jr/2022, Texas AM, 6-0, 217 (DS#3 RB) + More +

As the game wore on, Texas A&M turned to the legs of Isaiah Spiller to continue moving the ball in the Aggies' 41-38 win over No. 4 Florida on Saturday at Kyle Field. The sophomore tailback chomped through the Gator defense for 174 yards on a career-high 27 carries. Spiller averaged 6.4 yards per attempt and scored twice. "Isaiah was awesome today," A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said. "Ran the ball hard and physical against a very good, physical defense, and I'm very proud of him. That's a big-time effort today." Early in the fourth quarter, Spiller bounced off a defender on a fourth-and-2 run and dashed into the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown run that gave the Aggies their first lead of the game. Spiller said A&M's offensive line made his job easy.

"We had momentum going," Spiller said. "Cagan [Baldree] came around, he made a good block, and then the O-line did their job. I just ran and did my job, bounced off that tackle and ran into the end zone." Overall A&M ran 38 times for 205 yards with the majority of it coming from Spiller in the second half, when he gained 133 yards on 20 carries. "It was huge, especially starting that second half and when we started getting the run game going," A&M quarterback Kellen Mond said. "Florida got in multiple different looks to try and stop that run, and they were never able to capitalize." - Bryan/College Station Eagle

10/10/20 - Kellen Mond, Sr/2021, Texas AM, 6-3, 211 (DS#8 QB) + More +

Isaiah Spiller rushed for 174 yards and two touchdowns, and No. 21 Texas A&M beat fourth-ranked Florida 41-38 on Seth Small's 26-yard field goal as time expired Saturday. Spiller helped get the Aggies get into position for Small's decisive kick, giving Jimbo Fisher his first win over a top-five team since taking over as Texas A&M coach. Kellen Mond threw a 51-yard pass to Caleb Chapman for a tying TD with about 4½ minutes to go. The Gators were driving when Buddy Johnson forced a fumble by Malik Davis, and it was recovered by DeMarvin Leal to set up the game-ending field goal.

Mond passed for 338 yards and three touchdowns to help the Aggies (2-1, 2-1 SEC) down the previously undefeated Gators (2-1, 2-1) Florida quarterback Kyle Trask had 312 yards passing and four TDs, but the Gators were done in by the late mistake and another poor performance by their defense. Chapman finished with nine receptions for 151 yards and two touchdowns as the Aggies bounced back from last week's lopsided loss to No. 2 Alabama. Leon O'Neal intercepted Trask on Florida's first drive of the second half, but the play was wiped away because of a hands-to-the-face penalty on Michael Clemons. There was a scuffle after a play later in that drive that resulted in unsportsmanlike conduct penalties for both teams. - AP College/Texas A&M Football

Kellen Mond was a lot of people's preseason choice for the SEC's best quarterback. But with the loss to Alabama he is now 2-10 against ranked opponents. Mond has only rushed for 37 yards in two games but has thrown for four touchdowns, He also has a pick-six on his resume this season. Mond has to play better for A&M to remain among the ranked teams in America. - Gainesville Sun

A&M senior quarterback Kellen Mond upped his total offensive yards to 9,307 against Alabama, joining Johnny Manziel as the only two quarterbacks in school history to compile over 9,000 yards in total offense in their careers. Mond finished the game with 318 passing yards, throwing for over 300 yards for the sixth time in his career. Mond's three touchdowns against the Crimson Tide matched his regulation career high single-game passing touchdowns. The only time Mond has thrown more than three touchdowns in a game was in the Aggies' seven-overtime win over LSU in 2018. - Bryan/College Station

Not surprisingly, Mond had a big game against Alabama because of those around him. Tight end Jalen Wydermyer, who will be in the NFL one day, had eight catches for 82 yards. But the big key was sophomore Ainias Smith, a budding star. The wide receiver-turned-running back had six catches for 123 yards and two scores. Redshirt freshman Chase Lane added six catches for 62 yards. That trio is only going to get better with experience. - Bryan/College Station

The secondary had little answer for Alabama quarterback Mac Jones and his speedy receivers. The Crimson Tide twice picked on Aggie freshman cornerback Jaylon Jones, including a 78-yard touchdown pass and run from Jones to John Metchie early in the first quarter. Later in the third quarter with Alabama facing a second-and22, speedster Jaylen Waddle burned through the middle of the Aggie defense and caught a pass behind everybody for an 87-yard score. Jones added a 63-yard TD pass to another wide-open Metchie in the fourth. Jones threw for 435 yards and four touchdowns as the Tide needed just 52 rushing yards through the first three quarters to seize control. Not a great look heading into another matchup with one of the Southeastern Conference's best passing offenses next week against Florida. - Bryan/College Station

A cart was brought out to take Texas A&M offensive lineman Grayson Reed off the field in the first quarter of Saturday's game. Reed had tears in his eyes as the cart took him off the field. The injury occurred with 10:43 left in the first quarter on a Texas A&M field goal attempt. He appeared to collide with Alabama defensive back Daniel Wright. They put an air cast on Reed's leg. The game was scoreless at the time of the injury. Alabama defeated Texas A&M 52-24. Reed is a 6-foot-5, 300-pound junior from Cypress, Texas. - Montgomery Advertiser

The SEC had only one team produce a 100-yard rusher in its opening week (Isaiah Spiller, Texas A&M), and everyone was critical of the Aggies grossly underperforming. By comparison, the pass-happy Big 12 had three 100-yard rushers for the second consecutive week. - Birmingham News

09/30/20 - Kellen Mond, Sr/2021, Texas AM, 6-3, 211 (DS#8 QB) + More +

Texas A&M senior quarterback Kellen Mond earned a vote of confidence from head coach Jimbo Fisher on Monday, coming off a lackluster performance against Vanderbilt. Mond completed 17 of 28 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown in the 17-12 season-opening victory Saturday night at Kyle Field. He also fumbled the football twice and was inconsistent at hitting his receivers. Fisher said there were four or five throws he knows Mond wished he would have made. "I went back through the game," Fisher said. "[His] decision-making went well." Saturday's start was the 35th for Mond, the 27th under Fisher. "Kellen has played a lot of football and had a lot of experience and we'll keep playing and doing what we're doing and keep developing those other guys," Fisher said.

Mond is Fisher's starter for Saturday's game at second-ranked Alabama, but Fisher indicated a change is also possible based on results, which applies to any player. "You know, you're always [evaluating]," Fisher said. "If something happens and the team's not moving...but at the same time, [Mond] still did a lot of good things with the football." Mond initially was scheduled to speak on the team's weekly Zoom press conference, but he was replaced by running back Isaiah Spiller shortly before the start of the availability. After the game Saturday, Mond said he played pretty "clean." "I missed a couple of throws that I wish I could have back," Mond said. "I think that was Week 1, and me and the receivers were still building chemistry, but I think we're going to be a lot cleaner next week, because we have to be." - Bryan/College Station Eagle

Quarterback Kellen Mond completed 17 of 28 passes for 189 yards and a touchdown despite struggling at times with accuracy. While he said he played a "clean" game, he also said he was somewhat surprised he didn't have a better connection with his wide receivers after an extended fall camp due to the later season start date. "I think I see both sides," Mond said. "It surprised me and I think Jhamon [Ausbon], with him opting out pretty late and Hezekiah Jones being down - at times it's really hard, especially with guys who haven't played in games, it's really different. Even going against scout team, that transition to playing against an actual opponent, it can be different." - Austin American Statesman

Isaiah Spiller had 117 yards rushing and Ainias Smith ran for a touchdown to help No. 10 Texas A&M overcome three turnovers in a mistake-filled game to beat Vanderbilt 17-12 on Saturday night in the season-opener for both teams. Spiller had 5 five yards rushing in the first half before getting going after halftime. Smith added 51 yards rushing after switching from receiver to running back this season to steady the offense on a night when Kellen Mond fumbled twice, losing one.

The Aggies didn't trail after the first quarter but were never able to pull away despite entering the game as 30-point favorites because of three fumbles and a penalty that resulted in a safety. Vanderbilt started Ken Seals at quarterback, making him just the third true freshman QB to start a SEC season opener since freshman eligibility was restored in 1972. He threw for 150 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Spiller got things going for A&M after halftime when he ran for 57 yards on the first play of the third quarter. Texas A&M pushed the lead to 14-5 when Mond connected with Caleb Chapman on a 17-yard TD pass two plays later. - AP College Football

09/23/20 - *Anthony Hines III, rJr/2021, Texas AM, 6-2, 225 (DS#24 OLB) + More +

So far, five Texas A&M football players have decided to opt out of playing in the 2020 football season. The two most noticeable were the more recent, junior wide receiver Jhamon Ausbon and junior linebacker Anthony Hines III. Aggie head football coach Jimbo Fisher said every players' exit caught him by surprise, but with a global pandemic and racial injustice issues at the forefront of everyone's minds, he understands. "It always keeps you off guard because you hate to lose those guys," Fisher said Monday on a Zoom conference. "But at the same time, all those things that have happened out there today, in this world and in recent times, there's so many things and the way they affect young men and the way they affect families and we don't always know the family effects that they've had and what those families have dealt with."

After initially announcing his intent to opt out of the season Sunday, Hines tweeted more information about his decision, saying he wouldn't declare for the NFL draft and plans on playing in 2021. "I've lost someone very close to me and my family to COVID three weeks ago," Hines tweeted Monday. "I made the decision to opt out of this season due to concern for me & my family's safety, as well as to try and make an impact off the field regarding social injustice. "I plan to uses this fall to focus on the last class I have left here at A&M and get active in my community," he continued. - Bryan/College Station Eagle

09/16/20 - Jhamon Ausbon, Sr/2021, Texas AM, 6-2, 217 (DS#47 WR) + More +

The Texas A&M football team needed Jhamon Ausbon, but the wide receiver needed the Aggies just as much, if not more. Ausbon announced Sunday he'll forgo his senior season to prepare for the NFL Draft, a decision that makes about as much sense as everything else that's happened in 2020. Ausbon wasn't just the team's top veteran wide receiver, he was really the only one. He also was a team captain who the young, talented receivers could lean on. He has the savvy and size at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds to handle a grueling 10-game Southeastern Conference schedule. His absence will be costly. It won't be measured so much in the game-winning catches or number of catches, but rather is his day-to-day presence. Players with 35 career starts don't grow on trees. But it could prove more costly for Ausbon, who walked away from a sweet situation.

He already was the go-to receiver, and that was before juniors Quartney Davis and Kendrick Rogers opted not to return and A&M lost tight ends Baylor Cupp and Blake Smith to season-ending receivers. Ausbon's targets would have been off the charts this season from quarterback Kellen Mond, who already looked for his roommate in a pinch. There's more to Ausbon's head-scratching decision that will bloody many Aggies' heads. Ausbon threw nothing but positive vibes during a Zoom conference on Aug. 20. He looked forward to finishing what he started four years ago. He took pride in being a leader. He loved the guys he came in with and the young receivers he was mentoring. Ausbon was part of an incoming class that has weathered a coaching change and is in position to help A&M possibly have its best season since joining the SEC in 2012. Those all are moments some players never get to experience. - Bryan/College Station Eagle
