Head Coach Marcus Freeman begins his third year at the helm of Notre Dame as he takes his Fighting Irish on the road against Texas A&M in a highly anticipated matchup. The Irish boast an exceptionally talented squad led by a veteran defense and a seasoned quarterback in graduate transfer Riley Leonard.
The Aggies are a patchwork collection of skilled athletes assembled by first year coach Mike Elko. Both Elko and Leonard spent the last three seasons at Duke, although that seems like a lifetime ago for both of them. The environment for this contest promises to be hostile for the visitors and sweltering for all participants.
