Even with the Texas A&M Aggies at their highest point in over 30 years, there still manages to be some drama surrounding the program. With numerous high-profile jobs opening across the country over the past few weeks, Aggies head coach Mike Elko has been the subject of various rumors linking him to those jobs.
As No. 3 Texas A&M heads into the bye week 8-0 for the first time since 1992, there is one player who stands above the rest in the Southeastern Conference in sacks, and it is none other than Cashius Howell.
To say that Texas A&M football has done a complete 180º in a very short time would be quite the understatement. Ranked third in the country and sitting at first in the Southeastern Conference, the Aggies are positioned to have a spectacular November to close out the 2025 regular season.
In the face of adversity, Texas A&M football has answered the call to action. No matter the circumstances through their five-game Southeastern Conference stretch, the Aggies have remained unphased in their conquest over their competition.
The Texas A&M Aggies football program is just different these days. Head coach Mike Elko has completely changed the culture. The team is 8-0 heading into their bye with November set to kick off.

The Aggies have had an incredible season so far as they are ranked No. 3 in the country and are 8-0 for the first time since 1992. It seems like all of the pieces have finally come together for the Aggies, including their running game, as they have a deep running back room filled with talent.
With the Aggies advancing to 8-0 on the season, the offense has been elite as they rank No. 3 in the Southeastern Conference in offense, averaging 37.75 points per game.
The SEC continues to feel like the Wild, Wild West. This week, No. 3 Texas A&M (8-0, 5-0 SEC) traveled into Death Valley to face LSU (5-3, 2-3). When the dust settled, the Aggies left Baton Rouge, La.
Saturday night in Baton Rouge felt different. Maybe it was the way the maroon and white slowly took over Tiger Stadium, or perhaps it was watching LSU fans head for the exits before the fourth quarter even wrapped up.
