No. 19 Texas A&M Beats UTSA 42-24 Behind Reed’s Four TD Passes

Texas A&M opened their 2025 football season with a 42-24 victory over UTSA, powered by quarterback Marcel Reed's career-high four touchdown passes and dynamic play from transfers KC Concepcion and Mario Craver. Concepcion contributed an 80-yard punt return touchdown and a 31-yard touchdown reception, while Craver caught eight passes for 122 yards and two touchdowns. Despite a strong rushing performance from UTSA's Robert Henry Jr., who ran for 177 yards and two touchdowns, Texas A&M's explosive plays and efficient passing, including Reed's 289 yards through the air, proved decisive. UTSA kept close early, cutting the lead to four points early in the third quarter, but Texas A&M answered with 21 unanswered points to pull away. The Aggies relied heavily on their passing game, attempting only 23 rushes, their fewest since 2022, and benefited from strong special teams play that limited UTSA's field position. Texas A&M now prepares to host Utah State next Saturday on the SEC Network.
