Late field goal seals Notre Dame win over Texas A&M

Notre Dame kicker Mitch Jeter put the dagger in Texas A&M with a late field goal that sealed the victory.

Field goals don’t get as much attention as touchdowns unless they win the game at the final gun. But Mitch Jeter’s kick with 30 seconds remaining sealed the deal for Notre Dame over Texas A&M.

Jeremiyah Love scored the go-ahead touchdown with 1:54 seconds left in the game, but Texas A&M had one more chance to tie the game. The Aggies went four-and-out, however, giving the Irish the ball back with 1:34 to play. Notre Dame ran the ball three times and bled a minute off the clock before calling on Jeter, knowing that a successful field goal would put the game out of reach.

Jeter drilled it and the Irish are now 1-0 after winning their season opener.

Notre Dame’s Mitch Jeter named eighth-best kicker in college football

This should be good for the Irish.

As any college football fan will tell you, kickers at that level are particularly maddening. It really makes one appreciate how accurate NFL kicker are. College football really weeds out those who get to the next level and those who don’t.

Fortunately, Notre Dame has less of a chance of a big game being lost on a missed kick. That’s because Big Game Boomer, social media’s college football list guru, has ranked [autotag]Mitch Jeter[/autotag], the Irish’s transfer kicker from South Carolina, as the eighth-best player at his position:

This isn’t to say the Irish haven’t had some decent kickers in recent years. But the fact that Jeter is coming over from arguably the sport’s best conference in the SEC, and the fact that he should have the edge in most matchups this season should give Irish fans reason for optimism. You want someone with a good reputation when the game is on the line, and Jeter fits the bill.
