Texas A&M Aggies head coach Mike Elko is tackling his program’s troubling historical past at Tiger Stadium head on earlier than a high-stakes showdown with Related Press No. 20 LSU Tigers (5-2, 2-2 SEC) this Saturday.
When requested about Texas A&M’s “robust time” in Demise Valley, the place the Aggies are 0-6 since becoming a member of the SEC in 2012, Elko did not mince phrases.
“By robust time you imply we have by no means carried out it?” Elko requested.
He detailed the staff’s latest struggles at LSU, reasoning that Texas A&M lacked the physicality in its early days as an SEC member.
“I believe whenever you noticed a few of the early video games, that was sort of at all times the like, ‘Okay, that is what the SEC seems to be like,'” Elko mentioned.
“I believe as our program grew, we began to get nearer and nearer,” he continued.
