Overview

  • Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET at Notre Dame Stadium with national TV coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock and services that carry NBC such as Fubo.
  • Notre Dame enters off a 27-24 loss at Miami, while Texas A&M is 2-0 after wins over UTSA and Utah State.
  • Oddsmakers list Notre Dame around -6.5 with a total near 50.5, and a SportsLine model projects roughly 53 combined points.
  • Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed, who left last week’s game, was described as fine by coach Mike Elko and is expected to play.
  • The matchup is the second leg of a home-and-home series after Notre Dame’s 23-13 road win last season and is framed as consequential for CFP positioning.
