Texas A&M (1-1) faces the Florida Gators (1-1) in the first SEC duel between the two teams this season, while the Aggies bring a 10-game conference losing streak in away games.

Just an hour before kickoff, Texas A&M’s latest injury report revealed that starting quarterback Conner Weigman and former Florida linebacker Scooby Williams were still undecided. ESPN insider Pete Thamel first reported this early Saturday morning.

His exact injury is still unknown, vaguely described as an upper-body injury that will likely affect his throwing motion. Head coach Mike Elko told SEC Nation this morning that Weigman would try everything before the game to see how comfortable he was and that they would go in a different direction if he didn’t feel healthy enough to play.

So who’s the next man up? That would be redshirt freshman quarterback Marcel Reed, who played the entire second half of last weekend’s 52-10 win over McNeese State. When Reed makes his first regular-season start, expect Texas A&M OC to implement more RPO (run, pass option) calls to take advantage of Reed’s athleticism.

Wide receivers Eugene Wilson and Andy Jean will also be playing for Florida shortly before the start of the game.

Texas A&M travels to Gainesville to face the Florida Gators on Saturday, September 14th at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ABC.
