Texas A&M Upsets No. 8 Notre Dame, Advances 3-0

Texas A&M secured a dramatic 41-40 upset victory over No. 8 Notre Dame, boosting their national rankings and playoff prospects. Quarterback Marcel Reed led the offense with 360 passing yards and two touchdowns, including a game-winning 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Nate Boerkircher with 13 seconds remaining. Senior running back Le’Veon Moss added three second-quarter rushing touchdowns, while wide receiver Mario Craver recorded a career-high 207 receiving yards. The Aggies' defense contributed with key tackles for loss, sacks, and an interception that helped shift momentum. This win marked Texas A&M’s first road victory over an AP top-25 team since 2014 and notably improved their standing in both the AP and Coaches polls. Although Notre Dame fell to 0-2 early in the season, the win propels Texas A&M into playoff discussions as they face a challenging schedule ahead, aiming for at least a 10-2 record to remain in contention.
