The 5-foot-11 Exercise Science major ended the night with 7 tackles, four of which were solo stops, 2.5 tackles for loss, two QB hurries & 1.5 sacks.

Reed along with his teammates will try to start SAC action with a dub on Saturday at 6 p.m. opposite the Buffaloes of ABC with fans encouraged to ORANGE OUT Wildcat Field.
