The largest comeback in program history saw Texas A&M erase a 30-3 deficit en route to a 31-30 victory over South Carolina. With the win, the Aggies secured 10 regular-season wins for the first time since
2012. Next up, Texas A&M faces 1-10 Samford in the penultimate game of the regular season. Mike Elko held his regularly scheduled press conference on Monday ahead of the contest with the Bulldogs.
Key Takeaways:
- Players of the Week: DL TJ Searcy, OL Chase Bisontis, Offense KC Concepcion and Ashton Bethel-Roman, Defense Dalton Brooks, ST Tyler White
- From the turnover to the half, Elko calls it the worst football Texas A&M has played in his tenure, including his time as DC
- Elko says that halftime didn’t see the locker room placing blame, just guys wanting to fix the issue
- Elko says the contract extension was never going to be about him, says it was about the program, assistants, staff, and players
- Elko says Zirkel is back to full health, but Randy Bond is still the guy in spite of the misses
- When asked if Le’Veon Moss could return from injury before the end of the regular season, Elko responded, “Yep.” When asked how Mario Craver and Rueben Owens were after Saturday, Elko responded, “Great.”
- Elko says A&M didn’t win that game because of his halftime speech, says his job is to always be opposite of the moment, not to let the moment take him away
