Head coach Mike Elko did not hold back after the Texas A&M football team fumbled a 17-point second half advantage against USC in the Las Vegas Bowl.
The Aggies lost to the Trojans 35-31 on Friday night at Allegiant Stadium in Sin City. After the game, Elko spoke to the media.
“I think the story of the game is the story of our season. We can’t cover the forward pass well enough to be a good football team, and so that’s my fault,” Elko proclaimed. “We’ve got to be able to stop the run and pressure the quarterback. We didn’t do that.”
“I won’t watch the defense play like this ever again.”
Ja’Kobi Lane exposed Texas A&M’s defensive flaws in a big way. The USC sophomore wide receiver tallied seven receptions for 127 yards and three touchdowns.
A season that once started with so much hope concludes with a three-game losing streak.
