Texas A&M won seven of the first eight games in Year 1 under Mike Elko before regressing to the mean late in the year with four consecutive losses to Power Four opponents. The Aggies return a promising young quarterback in Marcel Reed along with a proven stable of running backs and their top seven offensive linemen on offense. Defensively, Elko believes the unit will improve despite the losses of Shemar Stewart and Nic Scourton up front.
