Greg McElroy is the latest to praise Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed for his second-half comeback against the South Carolina Gamecocks.
The Aggies found themselves down 30-3 entering halftime. Reed played his worst half of football so far this season. He had 141 passing yards, 2 interceptions, and a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the first half. The second half was a completely different story for Reed and the Aggies.
McElroy commented on Reed’s mental toughness on his Always College Football show, stating, “I thought Reed really bounced back. Showed a lot of mental toughness in this game, by the way… His bad is bad. No doubt about it. But his good is like, ‘Woo. This guy’s ridiculous.'”
Texas A&M came out in the third quarter and outscored South Carolina 21-0. Reed led the Aggies on an 8-play drive, a 7-play drive, and a 2-play drive, all of which resulted in touchdowns. The Aggies scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 10-play drive to start the fourth and took the lead 31-30. South Carolina could not score in the second half, and the Aggies won 31-30.
The Aggies have two games left in their quest to be undefeated. They will host Samford this Saturday, on Nov. 22, and then will turn their attention towards Texas whom they will play on the road on Nov. 28.
