Mike Elko confirms Marcel Reed remains Texas A&M's starting quarterback
Summary

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko confirmed that he will not make a change at quarterback after the Aggies' 35-6 loss to LSU. Marcel Reed, who struggled with 10 completions on 26 attempts, continues to be the starter despite recent poor performances. Backup Brady Hart's limited time has not provided a compelling case for a switch, as he threw an interception during his lone pass attempt against LSU. Reed acknowledged issues with execution and the offensive line, indicating that the team has a week to improve before facing Arkansas at Kyle Field.
