QBs Arch Manning and Marcel Reed Set for High-Stakes Showdown in Texas-Texas A&M Rivalry Game

Texas A&M aims to end repeated late-season collapses with an 11-0 start led by Heisman contender Marcel Reed and coach Mike Elko’s culture change.

  • Texas A&M has opened 11-0 and must beat the 16th-ranked Longhorns in Austin on Friday to remain perfect, with a win punching their ticket to the SEC title game.
  • After repeated late-season collapses, fans call it 'Battered Aggies Syndrome', and the school rewarded Elko with a blockbuster extension.
  • Quarterback Marcel Reed has emerged as a Heisman contender and vocal leader, urging Aggies faithful not to dwell on past failures and to embrace the 'now' mindset Elko preaches.
  • If Texas derails them, the Aggies could still reach the SEC title game only if Alabama and Mississippi lose, while the school rewarded Mike Elko with a blockbuster contract extension amid the turnaround.
  • Coming soon after the Fisher era, this run could become a defining program milestone, as the Aggies last opened 11-0 in 1992, when they beat Texas 34-13 in Austin.
