Mike Elko asking Texas A&M fans to have some perspective about 8-0 season

Mike Elko is celebrating the 2025 season the Texas A&M Aggies are having Elko's point is sound. Sure, you'd like to blow out every team on the schedule en route to a championship run, but this is the SEC. It's the toughest conference in college football, so even a 45-42 win at Arkansas that was closer than it should have been, or the aforementioned 16-10 win over Auburn, is a big deal. Ultimately, Elko has a lot to be excited about when it comes to his third-ranked Aggies. The last time the Aggies started the season 8-0 was in 1992. The last time they beat a Top 10 opponent on the road was on Sept. 13 against No. 8 Notre Dame in a 41-40 win. Before that, you had to go back to 1979. Have some perspective. That's basically Elko's message. “So let’s just take a step back and let’s enjoy the fact that we’re winning and not just focus on the play in the second quarter that we didn’t do the right way and how that’s going to kill us if we move forward and we keep making those mistakes,” Elko said.

“I’m telling you. We all love Dan Lanning. We all love the Ducks and their potential. But, there’s just something about certain teams at Iowa when you go to November,” Herbstreit said in a recent appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show." (h/t On3) “The only blessing they have is — it’s not a night game, right? If it were a night game, it’d be a given it’d be a loss." "And I’m telling you, Iowa is just going to be typical Iowa. It’s gonna be ugly. It’s gonna be like 15-12. You’re going to wonder, ‘How the hell did we get 15-12?’ But, that’s the fun with Iowa. We don’t know how we got to 15-12." “Right in the mix, especially if they win that game,” Herbstreit said. “No longer winning with punting and defense. … I’m telling you, just be careful. At the very least, [Oregon] is either gonna escape, or they’re gonna lose. That’s what’s gonna happen," he said.
