Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko addressed the team's struggles with their defensive pressure following a 31-21 loss to Kentucky. The Aggies' defense is ranked 14th nationally but sits near the bottom in sacks and pressure rate. Elko noted their scheme remains unchanged from previous seasons, citing challenges with opposing offenses using seven-man protections.
