Texas A&M and first-year head coach Mike Elko keep finding ways to grind out victories in tight one-score games this season. It wasn't pretty, but the Aggies escaped Arlington last weekend in the rivalry game against Arkansas with a four-point victory, thanks to a couple of key turnovers by the Hogs offense in the second half.
Next weekend, the Aggies host the No. 9 Mizzou Tigers in their second ranked matchup of the season at Kyle Field in College Station.
