In the end, the Marcel Reed period in School Station can really start.

The Texas A&M soccer group hosted LSU in a primetime matchup this weekend with first place within the convention on the road. The No. 14 Aggies (7-1, 5-0 SEC) overcame a sluggish begin to defeat the No. 8 Tigers (6-2, 3-1) by a remaining rating of 38-23 on Saturday night time at Kyle Area.

With redshirt sophomore quarterback Conner Weigman underneath middle, Texas A&M’s offense was stagnant and struggled to get going. Then within the penultimate interval, head coach Mike Elko made the daring, however appropriate, choice to interchange Weigman with Reed.

The redshirt freshman instantly gave the Aggies a spark that they so desperately wanted. Texas A&M trailed 17-7, then Reed rushed into the tip zone twice to provide the Aggies a 4-point benefit coming into the ultimate quarter.

With all of the momentum, Texas A&M by no means appeared again and outscored LSU 31-6 within the second half to earn its first 5-0 SEC begin in program historical past. Identical to the Aggies did Saturday, Elko can’t look again and should roll with Reed for the rest of the season.

In any other case, Texas A&M can kiss its hopes for the School Soccer Playoff goodbye, as a result of Weigman isn’t the man.
