Marcel Reed performed well in his first college start, leading No. 25 Texas A&M to a victory over Florida with three touchdowns.
Coach Mike Elko did not specify whether Reed will start again this week when the Aggies play Bowling Green or if Conner Weigman will return to the field.
Weigman missed the game against Florida due to a sprained throwing shoulder he injured in the team’s first game and aggravated during practice last week.
“Conner is going to be listed as day-to-day and week-to-week, however you want to word that, and we’ll kind of get him through and see where he’s at with everything,” Elko said.
“We’ll continue to manage the quarterback room very similar to how we have and play the guy on Saturday that we think gives us the best chance to win.”
Reed was named Southeastern Conference Freshman of the Week after passing for 178 yards and two touchdowns, while also rushing for 83 yards and another score in the 33-20 win over Florida.
Weigman has already had tests on his shoulder, but Elko mentioned they would conduct more this week before deciding on his status for Saturday.
“We’re going to re-image it to make sure there’s nothing there that we’re missing and make sure we have the right plan in place,” he said.
When asked if both quarterbacks could play on Saturday if Weigman is healthy, Elko replied, “You know I’m not going to answer that question, but thanks for asking.”
Weigman won the starting position in camp after recovering from a foot injury that limited him to just four games last season. He threw for 100 yards with two interceptions in Texas A&M’s season-opening loss to Notre Dame before bouncing back with two touchdown passes in the first half against McNeese State two weeks ago.
