Texas A&M coach Mike Elko said he isn't worried about the program's decades of underachievement and is focused on the 2025 Aggies, who are 8-0 after beating LSU 49-25 on Saturday.

Texas A&M QB Marcel Reed and DE Cashius Howell have been recognized by the SEC for their standout performances in the No. 3 Aggies’ 49-25 road win over then-No. 20 LSU, the league announced Monday.

The Texas A&M Aggies are putting together a season for the ages. Another week, another massive SEC win as Mike Elko and the Aggies head into their bye week to prepare for a final push toward the College Football Playoff.
