Mike Elko could have to decide on his college football coaching future soon if Texas A&M beats LSU on Saturday night.

Texas A&M and LSU have played highly competitive games in recent years, kicked off by a historic seven-overtime matchup in 2018. The home team has won each of the past eight matchups, including a 38-23 win by Texas A&M against LSU last season at Kyle Field. Marcel Reed came off the bench and scored three touchdowns in a come-from-behind victory.

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko isn't one for a straight-up denial but he again sent signals that he's staying with the Aggies.
