Mike Elko gives 12th Man some love after key victory for Texas A&M football

The 12th Man was no doubt a factor on Saturday night.

At one point, you actually saw the camera shaking early in the fourth quarter and even the ABC announcers, Chris Fowler and Kirk Herbstreit could do nothing but laugh and praise the Aggie crowd.

Here's some of what head coach Mike Elko said in the weekly South Carolina press conference.

This game for the Aggies represented everything. The fustration, the comeback, the replacement and the celebration.

There's no doubt that the first half was a disaster. Nothing was going right.

The quarterback change in the second half topped the headlines, and will be a question for days to come.

Marcel Reed comes in and everything changes. By the end of the third quarter, the Aggies clearly had the momentum going for them.

This was one of the best coaching adjustment wins for the Aggies in recent memory. It almost felt like a movie for Elko, as if it was supposed to happen.

Shortly after the A&M win, Elko gave the student section a positive embrace and recognized them for their hard work in the stands.

"The energy that the student section brought that whole game, just kind of the whole way through it was just in my mind and I didn't know the right way to thank them, and that was the best thing that I could think of," Elko said.

This was really the first time that Elko embraced the crowd in person. It's clear as to why Aggie fans love him already. He's a blue collar guy and a hard working person.

If this is year one of Elko, and he's already gaining recuits from these positive atmospheres, what else could make happen in the near future?

This could be the start of something special in College Station.
