TAMU Aggies football coach Mike Elko achieved the first 8-0 season in year two at College Station following a 49-25 win over the LSU Tigers in Death Valley under the lights. As CBS Sports’ David Cobb believes the win made the Aggies a legitimate title contender.

Texas A&M's odds to appear in the national title game and win it are on the rise after impressive Week 9 performance against LSU.

The Aggies are smoking hot and have advanced to an impressive 8-0 record, something the team has not seen since the 1992 season under legendary coach RC Slocum, where the team posted a perfect 12-0 mark and peaked at No. 6 on the AP Poll.

Mike Elko could have to decide on his college football coaching future soon if Texas A&M beats LSU on Saturday night.

Texas A&M HC Mike Elko is confident his defense will respond against LSU after giving up over 500 yards to Arkansas last weekend.

The No. 3 Texas A&M Aggies, led by quarterback Marcel Reed, face the No. 20 LSU Tigers, led by quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, on Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, La.

We have bigger aspirations for where we can go than anybody else,” Mike Elko said. “As we win, I think other people will catch up.”

You didn't hear what you think you heard. Mike Elko says he wasn't taking a shot at Jimbo Fisher or Brian Kelly after Texas A&M beat LSU.
