Texas A&M boasts an undefeated record, standing out as one of the best teams in the country. They are No. 3 in the latest AP Top 25 poll, only behind the likes of the Indiana Hoosiers and Ohio State Buckeyes for the top spot.
Elko reflected on the team's support amidst their success ahead of their upcoming Week 11 matchup, via On3. He encouraged the base to showcase remarkable turnout for the remaining home games and express their pride for their successful football team.
"We're doing things; you know, we won on the road against a top 10 team for the first time since 1979," Elko said. "We won in Baton Rouge for the first time since 1994. We're 8-0 for the first time since 19… like those are long times ago. I was not very much into coaching at that point."
"So let's just take a step back and let's enjoy the fact that we're winning and not just focus on the play in the second quarter that we didn't do the right way and how that's going to kill us if we move forward and we keep making those mistakes."
