Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko spoke to the media on Monday. The Aggies will head to Gainsville on Friday to take on the Florida Gators on Saturday afternoon, looking to finally end what has become a three-year SEC road losing streak.
Two days after blowing out McNeese State 52-10 on Saturday, A&M’s season-opening loss to Notre Dame returned to sting the program once more, as the Fighting Irish lost to Northern Illinois at home just hours after the Aggie victory. However, Texas A&M’s schedule presents more opportunities in SEC play if the wins pile up, starting with the Gators.
While we didn’t learn much about this team after defeating an FCS team, starting quarterback Conner Weigman looked much better and more confident in the pocket, posting the highest PFF grade among every active FBS quarterback over the weekend.
Providing several updates, here is everything Mike Elko had to say during his annual Monday press conference.
