On Wednesday, during the weekly SEC Teleconference, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko took questions from the media ahead of the Aggies’ critical primetime Week 9 showdown against 8th-ranked LSU while reflecting on what led the program a 6-1 start and 4-0 record in SEC play.
The changing culture under Elko’s leadership has been more than apparent amid A&M’s six-game winning streak, as the team’s consistent weekly improvement on offense and defense has resulted in the program going 2-0 on the road in conference play after failing to win a road game in nearly three seasons.
Built around physicality, consistent effort, and the ability to adjust when needed, Elko discussed the program’s culture change and gave full credit to the roster’s buy-in this offseason.
“The credit goes to the kids. They didn’t have to listen. They didn’t have to buy in. They chose to buy in and change things. … I’m proud of them and happy that they’re getting the results on the field.”
Texas A&M’s 2024 captains, sophomore linebacker Taurean York and junior left tackle Trey Zuhn III, deserve credit for leading the team on the field and helping keep the culture intact.
Texas A&M will host LSU at home on Saturday, Oct. 26th, at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on ABC.
