COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Conner Weigman threw two touchdown passes and Le’Veon Moss scored two more touchdowns before halftime as Texas A&M built a huge lead and rolled to a 52-10 victory over McNeese State on Saturday.

Texas A&M (1-1) scored touchdowns on its first five possessions to build a 35-0 lead. Moss scored touchdowns of 2 and 6 yards and Amari Daniels scored a 2-yard touchdown to make it 21-0 early in the second quarter.

Weigman then threw touchdown passes of 15 and 3 yards to extend the lead to 35-0 with 4 ½ minutes left before halftime.

On McNee’s next possession, the Aggies intercepted a pass from Kamden Sixkiller for the second time, and on the ensuing drive, backup quarterback Marcel Reed took over for A&M.

Sixkiller completed 9 of 19 passes for 80 yards and a touchdown for McNeese (1-2), an FCS school that plays in the Southland Conference.

Weigman, who threw two interceptions in last week’s loss to Notre Dame, completed 11 of 14 passes for 125 yards in less than two quarters. Moss, who also did not play in the second half, completed nine passes for 84 yards.

Daniels scored his second touchdown on a 7-yard run that made the score 45-0 with about six minutes left in the third quarter.

The Cowboys took the lead when Sixkiller played 10 yards to Jalen Wright and a 10-yard touchdown pass with 10 ½ minutes left in the game made it 45-7.

Freshman Terry Bussey, a five-star recruit, ran 65 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the next drive, extending A&M’s lead to 52-7.

The conclusion

McNeese State: This will certainly be the toughest game of the year for the Cowboys, and they need to get it over with quickly to be ready for conference play next week.

Texas A&M: The Aggies looked good against a weaker opponent on Saturday, but they still have to prove they can play well when the competition gets tougher next week. It was hard to tell if they have fixed the problems that plagued them in their loss to Notre Dame in that debacle.
