Redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed has certainly made the case to start for the No. 24 Texas A&M football team and he continued building upon it this past weekend.

During a narrow 26-20 victory on Saturday night at Kyle Field against Bowling Green, Reed accomplished a feat that hasn’t been done by an Aggie since Johnny Manziel.

According to Texas A&M Athletics Communications, the freshman is the first Aggies quarterback to throw for 2 touchdowns and rush for 80+ yards in back-to-back games since Johnny Football in 2012. Jerrod Johnson (2009), Stephen McGee (2006) and Reggie McNeal (2005) are the only other Texas A&M signal callers to do so in the past 30 years.

Reed completed 16-of-29 attempts for 173 yards and 2 scores with 12 carries for 91 yards against the Falcons. In a 33-20 win on Sept. 14 at Florida, Reed connected on 11-of-17 throws for 178 yards and 2 TD with 13 rushes for 83 yards and 1 tuddy.

The Aggies continue SEC play with the Southwest Classic on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. against Arkansas at AT&T Stadium in Arlington.
