Texas A&M Aggies Football Schedule 2024
Texas A&M’s football schedule includes Texas, LSU and Notre Dame.
The Texas A&M football team takes an early lead against Florida in its first SEC game of the season.
Saturday’s game at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium was postponed due to weather.
The Aggies are looking for their first SEC road win of the year (literally), taking on a Gators team that crushed Samford after a disappointing Week 1 loss to rival Miami.
Last week, Texas A&M earned its first win of the season against McNeese State, easing the pain of the Aggies’ opening loss to Notre Dame. Florida will likely start two quarterbacks on Saturday: six-year veteran Graham Mertz and freshman phenom DJ Lagway.
Texas A&M quarterback Conner Weigman was listed as questionable and did not start. Marcel Reed started in his place. Lightning delayed play as the first quarter ended, but play resumed.

Score updates for Texas A&M vs. Florida
On third and five, Reed makes his first real mistake of the day, throwing the ball right into the chest of a Gators defender who throws an easy interception pass. It looked like the quarterback expected Muhammad to turn and catch the ball, but the receiver never turned. Texas A&M settles for a 49-yard field goal that Randy Bond hits.
Solomon Deshields charges on a 3rd and 11 blitz and brings down Lagway until he finally falls to the ground and scores a 15-yard sack. Reed steps back on the field and converts another 3rd down with a pass to Jabre Barber.
Due to lightning strikes, play was suspended at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. The game will be suspended for at least 30 minutes.
It seems like the Gators have decided to go with their rookie and bring Lagway onto the field.
Florida runs Graham Mertz at quarterback over former top recruit and freshman DJ Lagway. The Aggies defense forces a punt after Mertz sends a high pass on 3rd-and-13 that Marcus Burke can’t hold onto.
LeVeon Moss starts the next drive with a 27-yard run. On another third down, Florida sends a rusher out of the secondary who Reed spots and sends a ball to Amari Daniels who goes 22 yards. The Aggies try fourth and fifth and Reed’s pass is incomplete. However, a holding call by Florida results in a first down.
Then, on the second attempt, Reed throws a dime pass straight down the seam for 29 yards to Melin Ohrstrom. The redshirt freshman surprised the Gators early on.
The backup made his presence felt on 2nd-and-21 with a 31-yard run to the Aggies’ 45-yard line in the Swamp. Reed also showed up on 3rd-and-10, completing a pass up the middle to Moose Muhammad III for 20 yards. Then on 3rd-and-13, the first-time starter showed his composure, rolling to his right and delivering a 15-yard pass that put the Aggies at the Florida 12-yard line.
Reed gets another third down and scores a touchdown, which is negated by a block and the back. The Aggies settle for a field goal, but the important thing is that Reed looked confident and competent.
Although quarterback Connor Weigman is still warming up, Elko has opted to use backup Marcel Reed as Weigman is dealing with shoulder issues. The redshirt freshman is a dual-threat quarterback who offers an advantage in the run game. However, Elko mentioned that Weigman may get some plays at some point.
