Texas A&M bounced back into the win column Saturday, dropping a massive 41-0 shutout on The Citadel, fueled by a monster three-touchdown performance from Jamarion Morrow. The Aggies, now sitting at 4-3, absolutely steamrolled their opponent in College Station, proving their run game is for real and ready to make some noise.
The Ground Game Unleashed
This wasn’t just a win, it was a statement. A&M went full ground-and-pound against The Citadel, who apparently came in running the ball 73% of the time themselves. But only one team could turn that into points, and it sure wasn’t the Bulldogs. In the first half alone, a ridiculous 46 of 62 combined plays were rushing attempts!
Texas A&M was up 28-0 at halftime, racking up nearly 200 more total yards than The Citadel despite holding the ball for only 11 minutes. They had four different players combine for 148 rushing yards in just the first half, with Jamarion Morrow finding the end zone three times. Dude was a scoring machine! He’s the first Aggie to punch in three rushing touchdowns in a game since Le’Veon Moss did it last year against Notre Dame. They finished the game with a season-high 263 rushing yards, with freshman KJ Edwards leading the charge with a blazing 116 yards on 13 carries, including two runs for over 30 yards. That’s serious wheels!
Next Man Up Mentality
What’s even wilder is that the Aggies pulled off this demolition while missing five typical starters, including key wideouts Mario Craver and Ashton Bethel-Roman. But hey, next man up, right? Marcel Reed, who played the first half, was still slinging it, racking up 130 passing yards and adding 23 yards on the ground. He even connected with Aaron Gregory on a sweet 37-yard play-action pass for a touchdown. Backup quarterback Brady Hart stepped in later and kept the offense humming, going 8 of 12 for 107 yards and throwing a 12-yard touchdown pass, also to Aaron Gregory. It shows you the depth they’re building, especially when you’re without some of your main targets.
This 41-0 victory was exactly what Texas A&M needed to get back on track. They showed they can dominate on the ground, control the clock, and put up big points, even when key players are sidelined. With that kind of rushing attack, the Aggies, now 4-3, are definitely a team to keep an eye on as the season pushes forward.
