Heat-of-the-Moment Remarks
Mike Elko said his postgame comments after the 27-6 loss to Missouri came across in a manner he regrets. He acknowledged a strong relationship with Billy Liucci and stressed appreciation for the overall fanbase while taking full responsibility for the team's struggles.
Offensive Challenges
The Aggies entered the season ranked No. 8 following an 11-2 campaign but have dropped to 3-3 overall and 1-3 in the SEC after defeats to Kentucky, LSU and Missouri. Quarterback Marcel Reed ranks 15th among SEC starters with 182.8 passing yards per game, six touchdowns and six interceptions along with the No. 92 QBR at 45.5 in FBS. The offense has scored six points in each of its past two games.
Coaching Adjustments and Schedule
Elko handed defensive playcalling duties to Lyle Hemphill after the 35-6 loss at LSU to focus on a broader role. Texas A&M hosts The Citadel on Saturday at 1 p.m. ET before traveling to face No. 6 Alabama on Oct. 24.
