Texas A&M Football ⋅ 7 days ago by Olin Buchanan
Texas A&M has not had a passer surpass 2,500 yards through the air over the last five seasons, but from 2009 to 2013, the Aggies had a quarterback reach that plateau ever year. With Marcel Reed now A&M's QB1 of the present and future, the hope is history repeats itself.
