Notable quotes as Texas A&M inches by Arkansas in Southwest Classic

The Texas A&M Aggies had to do some work in to secure a victory.

There were plenty of takeaways from the 21-17 win, including another win with Marcel Reed leading the way at quarterback.

Coach Mike Elko praised him and others last night. He spoke on Noah Thomas needing to be a playmaker, and he sure was last night with six grabs and 109 yards along with a touchdown. We knew Thomas needed to gain chemistry to be great this season.

Here are some quotes from Elko and other Aggies from this weekend.
