College football is in week 3, and things are heating up. Texas A&M has all the plans to bounce back stronger after the season opener defeat and the first win against McNeese. They are playing their third game of the season against the Florida Gators, standing at 1-1 in the 2024 season. With Texas’s approach so far in today’s game, their vision to dominate and win is very clear by their start.

In Texas’s last victory, Conner Weigman, the quarterback, displayed some impressive performance and tossed two touchdown passes. Le’Veon rushed for two more points just before halftime and helped Texas A&M to a commanding 52-10 victory over McNeese. But unfortunately, just before the Florida Gators game today, Texas A&M had bad news for fans. Carter Karels, Texas A&M beat writer, has tweeted, “Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman did not look comfortable while throwing the ball during the early portion of pregame warmups. The Aggies designated him as a game-time decision. Not breaking any news here, but I can confirm it is a throwing shoulder injury.”Concerns surrounding starting quarterback Connor Weigman’s fitness are quite serious.

Weigman’s absence will bother his team and his teammates, as he was a key player who led the team toward their first win this season. But as the game was getting closer. Olin Buchanan has tweeted, “Texas A&M redshirt freshman QB Marcel Reed starting in place of injured Conner Weigman.” Now that Weigman is sidelined because of injury, all eyes will be on Marcel Reed. The team will expect him to play with the same intent as Weigman played in the last game.

Although the coaching staff has put him under the bus and this sudden change will put Reed under high pressure, it is also a golden opportunity for him to show his talent, skills, and potential to his coaches, teammates, and fans. Reed’s addition will be very crucial from the team’s point of view because they have to win today’s game to keep their momentum and secure a second strong victory.

Lightning delays Texas A&M-Florida Game

The Texas A&M-Florida game had been delayed because of lighting around the stadium. The disturbance took place at the end of the first quarter, with the Aggies holding a lead of 10 points. The delay might benefit the Gators and work oppositely in the Aggies’ favor as the game is at a halt and their momentum might get disturbed after resting.

Coming to Freshman Marcel Reed, who is all set to start his career in college football. He has completed 8 out of 10 passes for 94 yards. This includes a 29-yard touchdown pass to Theo Melin Ohrstrom. The quarterback also rushed for 30 yards. The 6-foot-2-inch player might be in the headlines tomorrow if he outshines and helps his team secure their back-to-back victory.
