The Texas A&M Aggies had to do some work in to secure a victory.

There were plenty of takeaways from the 21-17 win, including another win with Marcel Reed leading the way at quarterback.

Coach Mike Elko praised him and others last night. He spoke on Noah Thomas needing to be a playmaker, and he sure was last night with six grabs and 109 yards along with a touchdown. We knew Thomas needed to gain chemistry to be great this season.

Here are some quotes from Elko and other Aggies from this weekend.

MIke Elko on Marcel Reed's play

"Marcel is still growing. Still up and down moments with him. He's a young kid."

Mike Elko on quarterbacks on the team

"We have great relationships in that room, in general. Jaylen Henderson is always ready to go as well."

Mike Elko on defensive performance

"The way we played in the middle of the game, there was no panic. It was a group of kids that went out there and fought together."

Le'Veon Moss on critical run in 4th quarter

"I don't remember much but I just be balling, really."

Le'Veon Moss on culture of Texas A&M

"We are playing more together. (Elko) built a culture of brotherhood. It's play for the man next to you."

Nic Scourton on critical sack

"Coming off the bench, I'm like, I got to make a play. It's a tight game. Got to make a play. I know (Green) loved to roll off that throwing hand...instincts kicked in."
