Five observations from the Texas A&M spring game

The Mike Elko era officially began with the Maroon & White Game on Saturday in a true old-school spring game. While cancelations and dog and pony shows chip away at the spring dress rehearsal, the Aggies bucked the trend. Texas A&M allowed its two captains – left tackle Trey Zuhn and linebacker Taurean York – to pick teams for the four-quarter football game at Kyle Field. 

“I think our kids deserve an opportunity at the end of spring to go out and play a game,” Elko said during the week. “It is really hard to go 14 practices and end with another intrasquad scrimmage. We want to do the best we can to make it game-like.”
