Last year, the Texas A&M Aggies hosted the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the season opener on prime time TV to bring in the head coach Mike Elko era. Notre Dame won impressively, 23-13, and went on to make the national championship game. This week, under Touchdown Jesus, the Aggies have a chance for revenge in another prime-time matchup against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.

Texas A&M is improved in Elko’s second season, but will now face one of the toughest tests in the sport, playing the Fighting Irish in a marquee matchup and in their home opener.

Notre Dame is coming off a bye week that followed a disappointing primetime road loss to the Miami Hurricanes in Week 1. The Fighting Irish have had two weeks to prepare, correct errors, and focus on getting back on track.
