Reed's Heroics Fuel 31-30 Comeback for Aggies
22 Nov
Summary
- Marcel Reed led a historic 31-30 comeback win with 439 passing yards.
- The Aggies' defense allowed zero points in the second half.
- The team prepares for Senior Day before facing rival Texas Longhorns.
In a stunning display of resilience, Texas A&M orchestrated the largest comeback in program history, securing a 31-30 victory over South Carolina. Quarterback Marcel Reed was instrumental, throwing for a career-high 439 yards, with a remarkable 298 yards and three touchdowns in the second half alone. The Aggie defense complemented the offense by shutting out the Gamecocks after halftime, limiting them to just 76 total yards.
This week, the No. 3 ranked Aggies (10-0) are heavily favored to score 50-plus points against FCS opponent Samford, whose defense struggles against offensive yardage. Senior edge rusher Cashius Howell, leading the nation with 11.5 sacks, may see limited action if the game's outcome is decided early. This matchup also serves as Senior Day, honoring over 30 players before the team heads to Austin to face the Texas Longhorns.
The pre-game hype video for Senior Day features senior left tackle Trey Zuhn III, recognized as the nation's top pass protector, who is projected for the NFL Draft. He is joined on the veteran offensive line by fellow seniors Ar'maj Reed-Adams, Dametreous Crownover, and Reuben Fatheree, all with promising NFL futures. The game kicks off early at 11:00 a.m. and will stream on SEC Network+.
