GAME NOTES

With the 49-25 victory, Texas A&M improved to 8-0 for the first time since 1992 when R.C. Slocum's Aggies posted a perfect 12-0 regular season.
The 49 points were the most scored by the Maroon & White in Tiger Stadium, eclipsing the previous record of 39 points scored 50 years ago by Emory Bellard's 1975 Aggies.

Redshirt sophomore QB Marcel Reed logged his first career game with two passing and two rushing touchdowns as he accounted for four touchdowns for the second straight game. Reed becomes the first Aggie to tally a pair of rushing and passing scores in a true road game since Johnny Manziel did it against Auburn in his Heisman Trophy season in 2012.
Reed's two-rushing touchdown effort was the second of his career. Both have come against LSU. Last season, Reed came off the bench in the second half to score a trio of rushing scores in the Aggies' comeback victory.
Senior DE Cashius Howell, the SEC sack leader with 7.5 entering the game, logged his third multi-sack game of the season with a pair of take-downs of Tiger QB Garrett Nussmeier in the first half. His 9.5 sacks are the most by an Aggie in a season since 2017 when Landis Durham had 10.5.
