Mike Elko on Texas A&M's running backs and Rueben Owens II's night:

Rueben Owens II: "We have to win the fourth quarter. That's the bottom line. We have to put it all together."

Texas A&M RB Rueben Owens II on his 137-yard day: "I had a good two weeks of practice. Coach and my OL gave me the opportunity, and I put it out there."

Ray Coney: "We have been making progress, but at the same time, a loss is a loss. We have to figure out somehow to claw, dig and find a way to win."

Texas A&M LB Ray Coney on the mood of the locker room: "It sucks. In the week, you put in so much work, and for three quarters, you see the work paying off. In that fourth, we have continued to get better."

Mike Elko on Marcel Reed's play: "I thought he played well... I thought that was his best game of the year, and I thought we operated, for the most part, better than we have for most of the year."

Mike Elko on Mario Craver: "He was limited. He got rolled up early. He gutted it out, and at halftime, it tightened up on him."

Mike Elko on Marcel Reed's final two throws of the game: "I thought the first throw to Aaron Gregory, he gave him a chance. It was out of Aaron's reach, but he gave him a chance. That's what you have to do. The second one, it got away from him."

Texas A&M's defense was stout, but the offense was putrid in another loss. Recap the defeat in Columbia → texags.com/s/80695

Mike Elko: "KJ (Edwards) had the flu this week. He was on the injury list because of that. Jamarion Morrow is banged up a little bit. He wasn't 100 percent ready to go. We have a ton of confidence in Rueben (Owens)... He was hot out there and ran the ball well."

Mike Elko on the fake field goal attempt: "I thought we had the look. The film will show we had exactly what we wanted. I thought we blocked it how we wanted. Unfortunately, we didn't get the run we needed."

Mike Elko on A&M's run game: "We challenged them to be physical. We thought that would be a big part of the game... We did what we wanted to do until the red area, and in the red area, we couldn't finish."

Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko: "Another disappointing finish. For a large part of that game, I thought we played the way we wanted to." "Really bad in the red zone. Really bad composure in the second half in the red zone. We can't get down there as much as we did and not come away with points."
