Texas A&M head coach Mike Elko said Wednesday that Koli Faaiu will start at center in place of Shanahan, but wouldn't reveal who will be the backup center against the Razorbacks.

"Well, without just telling everyone on the planet, what we're doing. I think a couple options. I think we got a couple options behind Koli," Elko said.

There's not too much included on the initial release that Elko didn't already reveal in Wednesday's SEC Weekly Teleconference. When the team drops its injury reports on Thursday and Friday before a final one on Saturday, the game status of players like quarterback Conner Weigman could become more clear, though Elko has said he will remain a game-time decision.

"He's taking reps on the side right now. He's progressing and getting better," Elko said of Weigman on Wednesday. "We're hopeful that we're gonna have him available on Saturday. He'll kind of be more of a game-time decision in that regard."

No. 24 Texas A&M and the Razorbacks will kick off from Arlington on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT. The game will be broadcast on ESPN.
