I think what’s more damaging in the loss is not A&M’s CFP chances, but Marcel Reed will never have the goodwill necessary to make it at College Station Hyundai.

That's for making us buy out Mark Stoops

u/legend023 Tulane Green Wave • LSU Tigers 27d ago

Stoops would’ve went up 17-7, ran the ball for the rest of the game, and let A&M win 17-24.

u/walterdog12 Kentucky • North Dakota State 27d ago

Genuinely, I think the biggest difference was that drive we got the field goal on.

1st and 10 we run the ball for 2 yards.

Stoops ball would've ran it twice more up the middle, taken 3 minutes off the clock, and punted.

Instead on 2nd and 8 Stein has the balls to throw and we get a 32 yard gain.

u/Greedy-Ad3227 Iowa State Cyclones 27d ago

This is the best comment right here. I like underdog SEC football and I think this is totally correct. I hate to say it but old school Kentucky football would have let A&M slip in by being too conservative

68

u/phitsosting Kentucky Wildcats 27d ago

It’s 110% true. Stoops played conservative with way too much time left. Stein was as conservative at the end but it made sense.

I think Will knew that assuming no turnovers, UK could’ve gone 3/out every possession and there was literally not enough time for AM to score 3 times before game over. I take it as he just had faith in his guys to not do something stupid

u/Aphrobang Texas Longhorns • Red River Shootout 27d ago

The FG basically sealed it. If that missed you probably would have had to be more aggressive but once it became three scores the only way Aggies were winning was turnovers or onside kicks.

u/slippyslidey_ LSU Tigers • Summertime Lover 27d ago

Could not believe he chose to kick that. It was like 4th and 2, 52-yarder and the kicker was 4/13 in his career from 40+

This game was not as close as the final score shows. Kentucky flat out dominated us especially in the 3rd quarter. When our defense wasn’t giving up 7 yards per carry, they were allowing 20 yards on a play action pass. Just absolutely 0 discipline.

What about the offense that hasn’t been said already? They were as inconsistent as ever, and once again Marcel Reed proved he’s just not the guy and will never be the guy.

Last season was really a miracle, I’ll just be happy with an 8-4 season at this point.

GGs Kentucky, you guys played a great game.

u/Semper-Fido Kentucky Wildcats • Team Chaos 27d ago

Bama's DBs were the MVP that game. Took away the passing game, which didn't allow for the running lanes to open. Too many 3 and outs kept the defense on the field for too long. That's what made that second half so much worse. Today we made them respect the passing game. Made the OLs job easier to block. Kept the defense fresh to capitalize on mistakes. Rest is history 🙌

Well judging by the Bama vs FSU game right now.. maybe Bama just wants to take an embarrassing ass whipping for the first half so they can mount a ferocious comeback.

In 14 years since Manziel, A&M has had 12 different players start at QB, and one of them (Kellen Mond) started for 4 full seasons.

How the fuck can this program not find (and keep) a good QB

Edit: because some of y'all are missing the point, I bring up Mond starting 4 years because if you remove him then we have 11 total QBs across 10 years. And then if you remove Reed we have 10 QBs across 8 years

Marcel Reed should not start another game the rest of the year. He is incapable of making the most basic throws, and making good decisions.

He isn’t the guy and withholding opportunities for others to show potential is malpractice to the program. Mike Elko your seat should be considered WARM. Terrible defense as well. Guys running open 5-10 yards all game. This will be a rough year.

Hope for 7-5/8-4.

u/jkeefy Arkansas Razorbacks • Southwest 27d ago

Elko will ride with Reed over installing a new QB, coaches fresh to the hot seat often avoid making changes like that.

Another bad loss will probably force his hand though, especially if Reed is the issue. Hope he lasts until we play them, that’s basically our Super Bowl the way the season is going.

What baffles me with both Mateer and Reed is that they're zone read/triple option type quarterbacks. Maybe you could build in a little RPO into the game and spice it up.

Their offensive coordinators insist on making them pro-style pocket passing quarterbacks. And that's just not who they are, if you wanted that you should have gone with a different quarterback.

I think Reed is better than Mateer, I think he can be a really deadly dual threat but he's so infrequently used that way.

u/libsoutherner Texas A&M Aggies 27d ago

Elko hiring two coordinators via internal promotions with zero experience calling plays was borderline head coaching malpractice.

Hemphill needs relieved of DC duties… like tonight. That performance was inexcusable.

Battered Aggie Syndrome has evolved into a multi-season disease. Instead of going 8-4 every year they’ll go 11-1 every fourth season make the playoffs, lose a CFP home game and repeat the cycle

Marcel Reed is the true spirit of the 12th man

Because with him at QB, the opposing team always has 12 players working in their favor

u/Shinta85 Texas A&M Aggies 27d ago

The refusal by this coaching staff to upgrade the QB position after reed looked like complete ass to finish last year is going to make for a very long 2026.

Can someone please explain to me why Texas A&M is always ranked top 10 to start the season? I’m tired of everyone pretending like they somehow deserve it this time.

u/DarthNobody14 Texas A&M Aggies 27d ago

I don’t man. The only thing we do right is be an internal disappointment.

u/gollumaniac Boston University • Buffalo 27d ago

So that whichever team beats them can get credit for a top 10 win.

u/John_T_Conover Texas A&M Aggies 27d ago

We hate it too. Our best years are the ones where we are lower or unranked pre-season and almost every time we're top 10 I scratch my head wondering why and then this shit happens. Seriously though:

Pre-Season top 10 rankings:

8 in 2011, finished unranked

7 in 2013, finished #18

6 in 2021, finished unranked

6 in 2022, finished unranked

Meanwhile we have three top 10 finishes in the last 15 years and our highest pre ranking in them was 13. One of them we weren't even ranked at all. I dread seeing us ranked that high early and then all the inevitable shit people give us for it like we created or agree with the rankings.
