The Texas A&M Aggies have a tough road test ahead of them against the Auburn Tigers, and as Mike Elko explained it, the stakes are perfectly clear.
have two more conference tests to close out their first season under Mike Elko, and one of them comes on the road in a stadium the coach called "iconic.""We've played early games over there," the coach said. "The atmosphere was great. There's a lot of pageantry at Auburn. It's a great place to play. It's one of the iconic stadiums in this conference.""If I remember right, I think both of were a noon or 11 a.m. Central kick," Elko said.
If the Aggies want to head back to College Station still atop the SEC with a chance to take sole possession over the Texas Longhorns, they'll need to avoid making mistakes on the road. Hugh Freeze is a familiar face for defensive coordinator Jay Bateman and the Tigers are a familiar November foe for the Aggies. The storylines have written themselves, and the stakes are clear.And that's exactly how it'll treat it.
"This is where we want to be," Elko said. "There's always two hats. From the coaching perspective, of course, this is where I wanted this to go. You work so hard to get it there as fast as you possibly can, and every game you win is awesome, and every game that you lose is miserable." Whether or not it ends up being a miserable Saturday or an awesome one will be determined Saturday evening at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Kickoff is set for 6:30 p.m. CT.Mike Elko and Lane Kiffin Exchange Jabs Over Night GamesMatt Guzman is a sports journalist and storyteller from Austin, Texas.
