Texas A&M will continue with Marcel Reed at quarterback after the No. 23 Aggies fell 35-6 to No. 10 LSU. Coach Mike Elko said he is not weighing a change at the position. When asked if Reed could be benched, Elko replied, "No." TexAgs shared the exchange on X, and Yahoo Sports reported it.

Reed completed 10 of 26 throws against LSU, producing 106 yards and one interception. His 38.4% completion rate may be the lowest of his college career, according to the report.

In four games this season, Reed has totaled 738 passing yards, six touchdown passes and four interceptions. He has completed 55.4% of his attempts, a career-low mark, while adding 104 yards and one touchdown as a runner. His previous season included 3,169 passing yards and 25 touchdowns.

Texas A&M is scheduled to face Arkansas in Week 5 on Oct. 3 at 7 p.m. EST. The Razorbacks also enter that matchup with a 2-2 record.
