Aggies on roll as Mike Elko's squad squeaks past Arkansas

Mike Elko doesn’t want his team to make waves. “We’re not making any big statements,” he said to the ESPN crew following the 21-17 win over Arkansas in the final game between the two at Jerry World in Arlington. “We’re a 2-0 football team.” 

Elko closed the door on the past in the offseason when he asked local media, and by extension the fan base, to stop asking about the Jimbo Fisher tenure. This is the Elko Era. And the residue of his fingerprints are showing up on Saturdays. Texas A&M didn’t win with style, but anyone who has seen the way the head ball coach dresses on game days knows he’s not worried about that. He’s more results than rah-rah, which is exactly why he was hired.
