On Wednesday morning, USA TODAY senior national college football columnist Blake Toppmeyer released his exclusive interview with Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, centered around the third-year head coach's authenticity, which has led to consistent recruiting success, while leading the Aggies to the College Football Playoff for the first time in program history just five months ago.
Leading the offense over the past two seasons, redshirt junior quarterback Marcel Reed enters the most important year of his football career, leading an Aggie passing game that features "crazy good" weapons in the passing game, led by junior wide receiver Mario Craver, and Alabama transfer WR Isaiah Horton.
Sticking with steadfast avoidance of anything "fake," surrounding Texas A&M's football program, which was the theme of Toppmeyer's interview, Marcel Reed fully understands that, even after throwing for a career-high 3,169 yards and 25 touchdowns, his 12 interceptions, which were second most in the SEC, directly led to back-to-back losses to Texas and Miami in the first round of the CFP.
Still, the Aggies have accomplished more in two years with Marcel Reed as the starter than many expected, providing consistency to a quarterback compared to the injury issues that plagued the Aggies every season after reliable starting QB departed the program.
