Reed accounts for three TDs as No. 15 Texas A&M rolls to 38-3 win over New Mexico State [Video]

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – Marcel Reed threw two touchdown passes and ran for a third score in less than three quarters to help No. 15 Texas A&M cruise to a 38-3 win over New Mexico State on Saturday night.

It was a bounce-back performance for Texas A&M (8-2, No. 15 CFP), handed its first Southeastern Conference loss after being shut out in the second half of a 44-20 defeat at South Carolina two weeks ago before an open date last Saturday.

“In a game like this you want to handle your business and do the things that you’ve got to do and we did that tonight,” coach Mike Elko said.

Texas A&M led 17-0 at the end of a first quarter in which it outgained New Mexico State 273-50. The Aggies were up 31-0 when Conner Weigman took over for Reed with about 3 1/2 minutes left in the third.
