Watch the final hype video from Texas A&M before the Aggies take on USC in the Las Vegas Bowl

Texas A&M (8-4) hopes to close out the 2024 season with a win as the Aggies will complete coach Mike Elko’s inaugural campaign against USC (6-6) in the annual Las Vegas Bowl on Friday night.

Despite the Trojans’ 6-6 record, USC is a blue blood program that deserves respect. However, after losing 19 players to the transfer portal, including several key starters on offense and defense, coach Lincoln Riley needs to field a competitive team for four quarters.

With the Aggies, Elko also has to reckon with the loss of 19 players to the portal. Still, this number primarily includes backups and rotational reserves, as the starting units, led by starting quarterback Marcel Reed, are in solid shape.

On Thursday, Riley praised Reed as a “dangerous” offensive weapon who is on the verge of becoming one of the best players in college football once he improves as a passer:

Before the late game, the Texas A&M media team released the final pre-game hype video of the year, and I can safely say that it was by far the best one yet.

Texas A&M will conclude the 2024 season against USC in the Las Vegas Bowl on Friday, Dec. 27 on ESPN.
