‘Does this look confident to you?' Mike Elko sticks with Marcel Reed after Missouri misery
Texas A&M football was held out of the end zone for the second time in three weeks vs. Missourii. But Mike Elko says he's not moving on from Marcel Reed.
Texas A&M football coach Mike Elko is sticking with quarterback Marcel Reed despite the team's embarrassing 27-6 loss to Missouri on Oct. 10, 2026. Elko, who admitted the Aggies are in "a really bad spot right now," said the coach doesn't care about the fanbase on social media, specifically the TexAgs message board. He praised the Aggie fanbase for staying behind the team, stating they will "build something" together.
The Aggies struggled in the backfield, gaining only 29 yards and being outgained 399-216 in total yardage by Missouri. Quarterback Reed was sacked three times and had a day marked by two interceptions, while running back KJ Edwards was limited to 20 yards on the ground. Head coach Elko believes the team needs to "exhaust everything" to improve the offense and avoid making the same mistakes.
