The Texas A&M Aggies have not had even remotely close to the season that many were expecting. Coming off a historic 2025 season, the future seemed primed for the program to continue building on its success.
The easiest solution to Texas A&M's offensive problems is also the one that requires the least imagination: Put somebody else at quarterback. Marcel Reed has provided enough ammunition to keep that argument alive, and Brady Hart was even warming up after two early interceptions against Alabama.
