We're already halfway through the college football season.
The Texas A&M Aggies are atop the SEC standings with a 3-0 conference record.
Clearly, there's a lot to thank for that. We're using the bye week to talk position groups and give our grades to each group on how they've performed so far this season.
Report Cards: Offense
This one will be a low grade of A.
Marcel Reed was asked to do one job. Utilize your legs and hold on to the football. The offense could trust him to work with the rest of the guys.
Reed should be given credit for everything he's done to put A&M in the position they're in now.
Then, when Conner Weigman came back, it felt like an ignited spark that the Aggies were playing with.
You could not predict a more perfect first half of football against Missouri. The team was doing everything right, and that started with Weigman coming back.
Le'Veon Moss just got some great recognition this week.

Moss got into the endzone 3 times against Missouri. He averaged 11.5 yards in the game.
He pretty much put away Arkansas in the Southwest Classic earlier in the year, and he's been the major workhorse in the backfield for the Aggies.
Amari Daniels has been getting love too, but it appears Moss is the true RB1 for the Ags.
His running along with his blocking are the keys to the offense running efficiently.
The offensive line has had to step up, and most of the time, they have.
Even though Mark Nabou is out for the remainder of the season, the offensive line has stepped up.
Trey Zuhn has been the most consistent guy on the offensive line for the Aggies and he'll continue to work to provide space for Moss and Daniels.
The only criticism is getting rid of pre-snap penalties. That mostly comes from the offensive line. This has been a pretty solid offensive line, and if the Aggies remain healthy, they should remain one of more consistent at their position in the SEC.
At first, the receivers were started out slow this season. The Aggies started to pick up the slack just recently.
Noah Thomas has started to get going with 252 yards and two touchdowns on the year. This includes a huge game against Arkansas with 6 catches, 109 yards and a touchdown.
Cyrus Allen has slowly added to his season total of 204 yards, and Jahdae Walker with 131 yards. Terry Bussey will continue to get more reps as a receiver.
The passing game is in its prime this season, but they don't have to be phenomenal. They just need enough to be able to help get the running game in prime position to score.
There's not too much to talk about here other than the tight ends have been doing everything that's been asked of them.
Theo Melin Ohrstrom has cashed in on two touchdowns this year, and Tre Watson caught a touchdown int the Arkansas game.
The Aggie tight ends have to remain a threat in the redzone. If they can continue to do their job, they can be decent targets when the team needs them to be.
They'll also help out on run blocking, so the Aggies need them to continue that.
