Backup quarterback Marcel Reed rushed for three second-half touchdowns Saturday night and No. 14 Texas A&M took sole possession of first place in the Southeastern Conference with a 38-23 win over No. 8 LSU in College Station, Texas.

Reed scored on a pair of 8-yard runs in the third quarter after relieving starter Connor Weigman, giving the Aggies (7-1, 5-0) the lead for good at 21-17.

Reed added a 4-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, then answered a Tigers score with his fourth straight touchdown march. Le’Veon Moss made it 35-23 with 8:14 left on a 3-yard run, his second score of the night.

Randy Bond added a 26-yard field goal with 3:48 remaining to cap Texas A&M’s seventh straight win.

Garrett Nussmeier completed 25 of 50 passes for 405 yards and two touchdowns but also tossed three interceptions. LSU (6-2, 4-1) saw its six-game winning streak end.

LSU got off to a fast start, scoring 10 points in just over two minutes during the first quarter. Damian Ramos hit a 23-yard field goal at the 6:18 mark, followed by Nussmeier’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Mason Taylor that came four plays after the Tigers recovered a Moss fumble at the Texas A&M 36.

The Aggies got on the board with seven seconds left in the quarter when Moss rushed for a 7-yard score, finishing off a 75-yard drive. Moss started the drive with a 25-yard run, while Amari Daniels converted a third-and-8 later in the march with an 11-yard run.

However, LSU regained a 10-point lead with a big play. Nussmeier found Aaron Anderson for a 76-yard catch-and-run touchdown with 4:55 remaining. Although Ramos missed what would have been a career-long 49-yard field goal later in the half, the Tigers still took a 17-7 advantage to the break.
