In this story:

The Texas A&M Aggies earned their biggest win of the Mike Elko era on Saturday night when they took down the No. 8 LSU Tigers at Kyle Field.

The win launched the Aggies into the top 10 for the first time since Week 2 of the 2022 season, when they fell to Appalachian State 17-14 in College Station.

Not only that, but it gave Elko his second win over an AP top 10 team in the last three weeks.

So how did he do it?

In large part, it was due to the switch at quarterback from Conner Weigman to Marcel Reed, who led the Aggies on five straight scoring drives in the second half. Those drives all came after Weigman struggled to get the ball moving for Texas A&M, and failed to put any points on the board after their last first quarter touchdown.

That said, the Aggies were also aided tremendously by a superbly called game on both sides of the ball, that kep the Tigers guessing throughout the night.

Our friend and Sports Illustrated's Director of Recruiting Brooks Austin, also known as 'The Film Guy', broke down every key snap in the matchup, and how the Aggies outcoached Brian Kelly and the Tigers on their way to a 38-23 win.
