Freshman quarterback Marcel Reed led Texas A&M to a 33-20 victory over the Florida Gators, stepping in for the injured Conner Weigman. Reed, who was notified of his starting position just before the game, displayed his dual-threat capabilities by throwing for 178 yards and two touchdowns and rushing for 83 yards and a score. His performance earned him the SEC Co-Freshman of the Week honors. This victory marked Texas A&M's first road win in nearly three years. The game has also intensified the quarterback competition at Texas A&M as Reed's success could challenge Weigman's starting position. The loss has further jeopardized Florida coach Billy Napier's position, with calls for his firing growing louder.
