With the entire nation watching, the Texas A&M football team fell short this weekend against Notre Dame.
The No. 20 Aggies (0-1) lost to the No. 7 Fighting Irish (1-0) by a final score of 23-13 on Saturday night in College Station. Notre Dame senior quarterback Riley Leonard bested his former head coach Mike Elko in their respective first games in their new homes.
The game’s first touchdown wasn’t scored until the second half as the top 25 opponents went into halftime tied 6-6 in a low-scoring affair. The victory is the first ranked SEC win for the Fighting Irish since 2004 against No. 9 Tennessee.
Texas A&M junior QB Conner Weigman struggled in his return from injury and first contest under the tutelage of offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Collin Klein. Weigman was 12-of-30 for 100 yards and 2 interceptions.
The Aggies’ lone tuddy came on a 1-yard rush by junior running back Le’Veon Moss, who served as Texas A&M’s bell cow against Notre Dame. He tallied 20 carries for 72 yards and 1 TD with 2 catches for 13 yards.
Next up for the Aggies is McNeese State at Kyle Field on Sept. 7 at 11:45 a.m. CT on SEC Network.
