No. 6 Texas A&M enters Saturday’s home game against Mississippi State with a perfect 4-0 record, but coach Mike Elko believes his team’s best football lies ahead.

The Aggies are off to their best start since 2016 as they prepare to host the Bulldogs (4-1) in front of an expected crowd exceeding 100,000 at Kyle Field. Despite the unblemished record, Elko sees significant room for improvement.
“I just think the ceiling for this team is a lot higher if we could figure out how to go put four quarters together,” Elko said.
Texas A&M has found different ways to win early in the season, excelling offensively in a victory at Notre Dame before relying on its defense to beat Auburn last week. That versatility has impressed Elko, even as he acknowledges the need for more complete performances.
“We won two games without playing our best football, right? And that’s a testament to character, culture and just grinding out wins,” Elko said. “That won’t last forever. That’s not lost on me. But I do think when you go find different ways to win … it gives you an opportunity to sustain success over long periods of time.”
Quarterback Marcel Reed will look to bounce back from his most challenging performance of the season against Auburn, when he threw for a season-low 207 yards with an interception and no touchdown passes.
