Mike Elko accidentally said Texas A&M was focused on Texas. Auburn didn't take it lightly
Players and coaches will often look for what many call bulletin board material to motivate a team before a game.
For Auburn against Texas A&M, that came in a clip from Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko’s press conference during the week. Elko was asked about avoiding overlooking Auburn with a big game against Texas A&M the following week, but accidentally said the team’s focus was “singlehandedly on Texas,” before catching himself and saying Auburn."I felt like that was very disrespectful to us," Hunter said. “I mean, I felt like as a team, we took that personal because they just looked over us and didn’t think we was just nothing. So, we had to show them what we’re about.
While Texas A&M can still clinch a spot in the Southeastern Conference Championship with a win over Texas, the loss to Auburn makes its chances at a playoff spot far less likely.If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
