Texas A&M Upsets No. 8 LSU, Elko's Comments Spark Debate

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko celebrated his team's significant 38-23 victory over No. 8 LSU, marking the Aggies' seventh consecutive win and solidifying their position as the last unbeaten team in SEC play. Elko's passionate postgame comments, calling Texas A&M a 'real program' and criticizing previous leadership, were seen as veiled jabs at former head coach Jimbo Fisher. The Aggies, now 7-1 after a rocky start, are positioned for a potential College Football Playoff bid, with Elko highlighting the character of his players in contrast to the past narrative surrounding the program. This win has elevated Texas A&M's national standing, likely moving them into the top 10 of the AP poll. Elko's remarks not only served as a critique of former management but also as a recruiting pitch to future talent. With a promising season ahead, the Aggies are set to face Texas in what could be a pivotal matchup for both teams.
