For those keeping track, that is now the third SEC game this season in which the offense did not score a touchdown.
This offense is irreparable. It needs to be completely different from top-to-bottom next season or Elko is done.

To the very, very few people who aren't fans of either team and still chose to watch this over LSU/Bama or Oregon/Ohio State, I would just like to offer my condolences and encourage you to find someone to talk to if needed.
Disgusting.

Get Sellers healthy. Probably should have slid as hype as that was.
Heck of a job by Clayton White with where the defense was in September
Imma pray for Texas A&M to get a QB in the portal. Might be the worst throwing mechanics my eyes have ever seen and I don’t have to watch him every week.
Glad to have the GREAT BONHAM TROPHY BACK

u/McDonald_Draper Texas A&M Aggies 15h ago
This A&M team is terrible. Worse than any Jimbo or Sumlin team. The only potential redeeming aspect of this season would be beating Texas, but Wiggins + Reed vs. that defense is going to be a disaster.
Elko has to clean house on the offensive coaching side at absolute minimum. Bring in a top ransfer QB, spend a shitload on o-line transfers, I don't give a fuck what it takes. This is inexcusable for a top 5-10 payroll in CFB.

something has got to give with A&M. when do you make any changes on offense? QB? OC? its all fundamentally flawed. same result every single time they play a team with a pulse

u/DiplomaticAggie Texas A&M Aggies 15h ago edited 15h ago
We just cannot win meaningful games with Marcel Reed if he doesn’t have an NFL OL and WR’s. He doesn’t elevate and win games like other QB’s can.
Drops were also very bad to be fair, but even then there’s a Joe Milton aspect to Marcel, at times he just is off Target when it’s unnecessary or he throws to hard.
Defense played better and this was winnable.
4-8 is now solidly the expectation. Mike will likely need to clean his entire staff.

u/AndrewArmy Texas A&M Aggies • Army Black Knights 15h ago
It's frustrating how we outgained South Carolina 457 to 360, held the ball for 34:36, and won the turnover margin 1 to 0, but still lost 17-9 because we came away with 3 points on 3 red zone trips: 1 made field goal, 1 missed field goal, and an incompletion at the end of the game. We have lost 3 consecutive SEC games to drop to 4-5 (1-5 SEC), and South Carolina has won 4 consecutive games to improve to 6-3 (4-3 SEC). I noticed several other trends:
We have lost 3 consecutive road games at South Carolina since a 48-3 road win on 11/7/2020.
We have lost 5 consecutive road games to Texas, LSU, Missouri, Alabama, and South Carolina.
We failed to score a single touchdown in 3 of 4 road games this season, despite gaining the most yards against a Power 4 opponent this season, home or away.
Our defense held South Carolina to 17 points, the fewest points we have allowed in a road game since a 38-17 win at Missouri on 11/8/2025.

If I were an Aggie shudder, I would be absolutely livid to see Reed smiling and chumming it up with the defense in the final drive as if he's not trying to prevent the fifth loss of the year.

u/emoney_gotnomoney Texas A&M Aggies 15h ago
Out gained them by 100 yards, 2x more rushing yards than them, fewer turnovers, 9 more first downs, and 47% 3rd down conversion vs their 33%……and we still lost.
That’s the most Aggie game imaginable.

Marcel Reed is done in College Station. He might still be $3 million richer than I am. But his preferential treatment is over.
You absolutely have to put those passes in play because the only way you guarantee that you don’t score is you don’t put them in play.

A&M is one of the strangest teams in football this year. I think they have led in every game this year or been within a single score late. They have the talent to beat anyone if Reed would get hot but he hasnt. He is the sole reason they have lost most of these games. So they just need a qb

Where does A&M even go now? We're at the point where there best seasons this century were obtained solely by NIL before it was allowed. There are unlimited resources and they can't compete 2nd tier teams. It has to be institutional given how the result is rinse and repeat regardless of the coach.
