Mike Elko Hurls Chair in First-Quarter Outburst, Then Jokes After Texas A&M’s 41-40 Win at Notre Dame

The outburst followed a penalty-aided Notre Dame touchdown drive captured prominently on NBC.

Overview

  • NBC’s broadcast showed Elko throwing a sideline chair during a heated address to his defense and later zoomed in on the toppled seat as Noah Eagle joked about its condition.
  • The sequence featured a personal-foul flag on cornerback Dezz Ricks for shoving Jeremiyah Love out of bounds and a long CJ Carr completion that set up Notre Dame’s touchdown.
  • The incident occurred in the first quarter after Notre Dame finished a seven-play scoring drive to take a 14-7 lead.
  • After the game, Elko quipped to reporters that he didn’t know whether the chair survived.
  • Texas A&M rallied for a 41-40 victory on a late touchdown and extra point after Notre Dame botched a previous PAT, moving the Aggies to 3-0 and avoiding a sweep after last season’s 23-13 loss.
