Aggies quarterback Marcel Reed got the start for the injured Conner Weigman, who is dealing with an AC sprain in his throwing shoulder. Reed found tight end Theo Melin Ohrstrom for a 29-yard touchdown in the first quarter against Florida on Saturday.

"We're gonna go with Marcel Reed," Texas A&M coach Mike Elko told ESPN pregame. "I think Conner's gonna be ready in some type of backup form, but we just felt like watching pregame, Marcel is our guy today. ... He's gonna go out there and play a great game. We got a lot of confidence in him. He's been preparing for this moment, and we believe he's gonna lead this team."

At the time of the delay, Reed was 8 of 10 passing for 94 yards and the touchdown. Running back Le'Veon Moss had four carries for 35 yards.
