Mike Elko mistakenly says Texas A&M’s focus is on Texas ahead of Auburn game

On Saturday, Texas A&M will square off against Auburn. However, some fans are skeptical that the Aggies are already looking ahead toward their matchup against the Texas Longhorns on Nov. 30. On Tuesday, Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko didn’t help squash these suspicions when he mixed up the two teams while speaking.

“I don’t think it’s an issue,” Elko said of his team’s focus. “When you’re in the situation we’re in, it’s easy to focus on the task at hand. I think those big games earlier in the year, maybe you look ahead.

“If we didn’t have at stake, what’s at stake, maybe you would worry about it. I think our focus is single-handedly on Texas — or, I mean Auburn right now, and locked in on what we got to get done.”

Awkward. Whether Texas A&M’s focus is on the Tigers or the Longhorns, they need to win both games to keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive. The Aggies are currently tied with Texas for first place in the SEC standings, with only one conference loss.

This story will be updated.
