Texas A&M walked out of Tiger Stadium on Saturday night with more questions than answers after a 35-6 beating from LSU dropped the Aggies to 2-2.
The numbers told the story fast. LSU rolled up more than 500 yards of total offense, while Texas A&M could muster only 197. Marcel Reed’s night never found a rhythm, as the junior quarterback finished with 106 passing yards and one interception in another uneven showing that left the Aggies searching for answers heading into Week 5.
The issues weren’t limited to Reed. Mario Craver and Isaiah Horton combined for just six catches and 74 yards, production that has to climb if this offense is going to look anything like it was supposed to. Offensive coordinator Holmon Wiggins has not been getting the ball to his top playmakers, and Reed’s inconsistency has wiped out the explosive edge Texas A&M had offensively in 2026 under Collin Klein.
Around the game, the reaction was blunt and ugly. The loss was described as embarrassing, another poor Week 4 for the Aggies, and a night when things went from bad to worse for the Maroon and White. It was also labeled Texas A&M’s worst loss since 2019, with back-to-back weeks now landing among the worst performances of the Elko era.
The quarterback situation is clearly a flashpoint. Aggies fans were already begging for a change after Reed’s latest rough outing, but Elko stood firm on not changing quarterbacks.
LSU’s side of the story had its own headline moments. The Tigers got their revenge against Texas A&M, and wideout Jackson Harris put together a massive game against the Aggies’ secondary. By the end of the night, it was all Tigers in Death Valley, and LSU fans were clearing out again - this time for a different reason.
It was that kind of night for Texas A&M in Baton Rouge, and the mood around the program reflected it. Another disappointing performance had Aggies fans outraged, and the frustration was impossible to miss with all the stars on hand to watch LSU’s big win.

Johnny Manziel Just Said What Texas A&M Fans Are Fearing
Johnny Manziels postgame criticism landed with the kind of force only a former Texas A&M star can bring. After the loss to LSU, he took to social media to question what the Aggies are doing right now, and the reaction was not hard to understand. The offense has struggled to find rhythm, the defense has had its own issues, and the overall look has been of a team still searching for something steady to hang onto in SEC play.
For Aggies fans, the uncomfortable part is that the problems do not seem isolated to one side of the ball. Coaching, cohesion and the lack of a clear offensive identity have all become part of the conversation, with the running game looking like one area that could help set a tone if it ever gets going. Until then, the concern Manziel voiced is the same one hovering over the program: the season feels like it needs a reset, and there is no obvious sign yet of where that comes from. [Read more 🡒]
Mario Craver Is Giving Texas A&M Fans A New Reason To Vent
Texas A&Ms rocky start has already left Aggies fans looking for answers after two straight losses erased the momentum of a 2-0 opening, and now receiver Mario Craver has given them another topic to grumble about. The latest frustration came off the field, where Craver drew criticism on social media after liking Instagram photos of Peyton Blomquist, the Florida Gators fan who went viral during Floridas win over Ole Miss.
For a fan base already uneasy about the direction of the season, the timing could hardly be worse. Even a small social media gesture can become a talking point when a team is trying to steady itself, and Cravers online activity landed in the middle of a week when Texas A&M supporters were already searching for reasons to feel better about a 2-2 start.

Texas A&M Fans Wont Love What Elko Is Facing After LSU Loss
A rough night in Baton Rouge left Texas A&M searching for answers after a 35-6 loss to LSU dropped the Aggies to 2-2 overall and 0-2 in SEC play. The offense never found much rhythm, the defense spent too much time on its heels, and the kind of complementary football Mike Elko has been trying to build was nowhere to be found.
Marcel Reeds uneven performance only added to the frustration, but Elko said he is not changing the starting quarterback for now. For a fan base already uneasy about the early conference skid, the bigger concern may be how many areas need fixing at once, from protection and execution on offense to a defense that could not generate pressure or keep LSU from piling up passing yards.
