Texas A&M’s commitment to development is paying off on Saturdays
                    
                
                
                    
                        Texas A&M’s rise is not about stacking five-stars, but about finding players who crave the grind and maximizing their development once they arrive in College Station. The blueprint behind Mike Elko’s recruiting strategy is beginning to show its real impact on Saturdays.

                        Mike Elko called the Florida Gators the "most talented" team No. 5 Texas A&M will have faced thus far in 2025. Before the third game at Kyle Field in as many weeks, Billy Liucci tackles another round of subscriber questions to get ready for Aggies-Gators and beyond.

                        Just in the fourth quarter alone, Texas A&M's stable of backs ran for 135 yards against Mississippi State. On Thursday's edition of TexAgs Live, former Aggie offensive line coach Jim Turner joined us to talk about A&M's dominance on the ground.

                        Texas A&M followed up a stifling defensive performance vs. Auburn with a suffocating one against Mississippi State as the Aggies rode the defense to a 31-9 win in Week 6. Billy Liucci and Sean Porter break down the defensive showing from the Maroon & White as A&M is now 5-0.

                        The sixth-ranked Fightin' Texas Aggies pulled off a successful "Operation Blackout" on Saturday night as they improved to 5-0 with a 31-9 victory over Mississippi State at Kyle Field. The Aggies ran for nearly 300 years and are now 2-0 in Southeastern Conference play.

                        While KC Concepcion was the one carrying it 80 yards to paydirt, the first Aggie punt return since 2023 for a touchdown was made by EJ Smith, who threw three different blocks on the play. Mike Elko praised Smith's blocking as one of the greatest effort plays he has ever seen.
                    
                
             
            
                
                    
                    
                        Matchup with UTSA feels 'just right' as Texas A&M's 2025 opener
                    
                
                
                    
                        Sometimes, college football season-openers can feature opponents that are either too soft or too hard, much like a children's story. For Mike Elko's second year leading Texas A&M, this weekend's matchup with UTSA feels just right for the Aggies.
                    
                
             
            
                
                    
                    
                        Around CFB: It's alright to be optimistic in Aggieland
                    
                
                
                    
                        The arrival of a new football season is traditionally accompanied by new hope and optimism, but for Texas A&M fans, there is a sense that the traditional preseason optimism is fading. It’s OK for Aggies to be optimistic for this season, and it's actually warranted.

                        Eight months have passed since Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko expressed frustration with the Aggies’ pass coverage following a Las Vegas Bowl loss to USC. Those issues need to be addressed in this weekend’s season-opener against UTSA at Kyle Field.

                        After starting nine games last year, cornerback Dezz Ricks enters his second season in the Texas A&M program with heightened expectations. If the Aggie secondary is to really be an improved unit, Ricks projects to be a big reason why.

                        Texas A&M will hold its 12th fall practice on Wednesday evening, but there are still plenty of questions surrounding Mike Elko's Aggies with kickoff just 17 days away. Along with a few thoughts on Star Wars, Billy Liucci sat down to tackle another round of subscriber questions.

                        Coming off an 8-5 campaign in Mike Elko's debut season in College Station, Texas A&M is ranked No. 19 in the Associated Press' preseason poll. The Maroon & White are also ranked No. 21 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
                    
                
             
            
                
                    
                    
                        Healing defensive Achilles heels could help Aggies to go far in 2025
                    
                
                
                    
                        At times, Texas A&M's defense was victimized through the air, but the Aggies' inability to stop the run was equally devastating.  With 2024 in the rearview and 2025 quickly approaching, Mike Elko has aimed to upgrade the secondary and limit big plays on the ground.

                        A season ago, the Aggies managed just 25 total sacks, but in 2025, that number figures to increase for several different reasons. Chief among them is Cashius Howell, who managed four sacks in 2024 and continued to improve late in the season while adapting to life in the SEC.

In this second installment of Five in Five, Billy Liucci details key positions and those primed to make a big impact this fall.
