7 Sep
Summary
- Coach Elko credits the team's winter training for their victory.
- He believes his true coaching role is to manage team's emotional state.
- Texas A&M is ranked number 8 and will face Arizona State next.
Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko credited the team's extensive winter training for their dominant 50-0 win against Missouri State. He explained that the victory was secured months earlier through dedicated effort in January, rather than his halftime coaching adjustments. Elko articulated that his primary function as a coach involves maintaining a calm demeanor when the team is frantic and fostering intensity when they lack it.
The Aggies, currently ranked eighth, secured a narrow 19-0 lead at halftime, but a significant surge in the second half saw them score 31 points. This performance highlighted the team's commitment and the culture instilled during the offseason. Texas A&M is now set to face a more challenging opponent, Arizona State, in their upcoming game in College Station.
