Texas A&M HC Mike Elko reveals "the biggest thing" that turned Aggies into undefeated College Football Playoff contender
The Texas A&M Aggies are putting together a season for the ages. Another week, another massive SEC win as Mike Elko and the Aggies head into their bye week to prepare for a final push toward the College Football Playoff.
The LSU Tigers hold the verbal pledge, looking to hold on down the stretch with the Early Signing Period inching closer.
We have bigger aspirations for where we can go than anybody else,” Mike Elko said. “As we win, I think other people will catch up.”
Texas A&M's offseason additions of transfer wide receivers Mario Craver and KC Concepcion instantly made the Aggies College Football Playoff contenders. Still, after Saturday's blowout win over LSU, it's time to consider the team from College Station National Championship worthy.
In the second half, the Aggies raised their shooting percentage from 36.7% to 56.7%, including hitting 8 of 15 shots from 3-point range.
The additions of KC Concepcion and Mario Craver have added a new dynamic to Texas A&M and made the Aggies’ offense into a special unit.
Texas A&M strength coach Tommy Moffitt motivated the Aggies by using a tackle dummy with Brian Kelly's face on it in practice before the game.
