Elko bristles at past, urges 9-0 Aggies to 'finish'
"I don't know about the past. I know that that's four road games that this team has gone on the road and won. We're 4-0 this year on the road and we've only got one left, so we'll finish this year with a winning record if my math is right."
"In Texas A&M's first year in the SEC, it finished 11-2 as Johnny Manziel won a Heisman Trophy. In every season since then, however, the Aggies have won nine or fewer games, with fans' least favorite number being eight -- with five 8-5 seasons and one at 8-4. In nine of their 13 seasons in the league, they've appeared in the AP top 10 but only finished the season ranked four times, including just twice in the top 15."
"Texas A&M is the only team in the country with three road wins over teams ranked in the Associated Press poll, including a win over now-No. 10 Notre Dame in South Bend."
Mike Elko emphasizes focusing on the present as Texas A&M sits 9-0 and ranked No. 3. The Aggies achieved their best start since 1992 and secured three road wins over AP-ranked teams, including Notre Dame. Texas A&M went 4-0 on the road this season and completed a three-game road trip with wins over Arkansas, LSU and Missouri. Defensive pressure limited Missouri freshman Matt Zollers to 7-of-22 passing for 77 yards and a fumble. Marcel Reed passed for 221 yards and two touchdowns while the team methodically wore down opposing defenses. The program has struggled to finish seasons highly ranked since joining the SEC.
