The Texas A&M football team has surged up the standings this season, thanks to a stellar combination of an improved offense and a defense that has consistently improved as the season progressed. Mike Elko has this Aggies team focused, confident, and ready to take on anyone in the conference, which is why they currently sit alone as the only undefeated team in the conference.
Mike Elko joined the Thursday episode of The Pat McAfee Show and talked about how confident this Aggies team is and how they are only growing in confidence.
“We felt like we had a chance to take a huge step forward as a program,” Elko said. “Last year we had a great first two months, but we didn’t finish it the right way. We had a great offseason and went into the season confident we could have a good year.”
While on McAfee’s show, he also made sure to say that, as confident as the Aggies feel right now, they need to finish strong this month.
“There’s expectation that if you spent that amount of money to make a change and you’re the guy we picked, they’re expecting results here,” Elko bluntly said. “This is two years in a row we’ve put ourselves in position in November, but we’ve got to go finish it.”
The Aggies have been dominant so far and have every right to be confident, but they must ensure they finish the season strong to avoid not having control of their own destiny.
