Dervil, a junior safety, also was credited with seven tackles, including three solo tackles. Dylan Early, also a junior safety, was third on the team with five tackles. With his contributions, Elliott helped the Aggies improve to 1-1 overall. The victory followed an Aug. 26 home loss to the University of Massachusetts. Elliott and his fellow Aggies will open Conference USA play Saturday against Liberty University at Williams Stadium.
