Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed reflects on rivalry with Texas
Summary

Texas A&M opened the 2026 season with a 50-0 shutout of Missouri State at Kyle Field. Quarterback Marcel Reed finished the contest 21-of-30 for 233 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, contributing to 31 points in the second half. Despite previous losses to Texas in 2024 and 2025, Reed stated his performance and the team results against the Longhorns were due to internal execution rather than opponent superiority. Coach Mike Elko noted the importance of ignoring external criticism while preparing for the upcoming schedule. Texas A&M is scheduled to play Arizona State in Week 2. The program last recorded a victory against Texas in 2011, before the rivalry was paused following the Aggies' move to the SEC.
