Kenny Dillingham prepares Arizona State to face Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed

Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham addressed the upcoming Week 2 matchup against Texas A&M by offering a humorous suggestion for game planning against quarterback Marcel Reed. When asked how his team would handle the Aggies signal-caller, Dillingham jokingly told reporters to simply pray. Despite the levity of his comment, the coach acknowledged significant growth in Reed’s pocket presence and passing touch across the entire field. Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko defended his quarterback’s standing, noting that Reed has maintained a 12-1 record as a regular-season starter over the past two years. While some external critics have questioned Reed’s deep-ball accuracy, both coaches emphasized that the quarterback receives insufficient recognition for his contributions to the team’s success. The two programs are scheduled to play this Saturday.
