A Stellar Offensive Lineup
The Aggies’ attack was spearheaded by redshirt sophomore quarterback Marcel Reed, who delivered an impressive 210 total offensive yards, consisting of two passing touchdowns and a strategic rushing score.

Yet, Reed’s connection with Concepcion lit up the stadium towards the end of the first half, taking a 7-3 lead. The third quarter saw the continuation of this partnership, extending the Aggies’ lead. Reed’s rushing score and Craver’s remarkable touchdown further secured their dominance in the fourth quarter.
