How to watch Notre Dame vs. Texas A&M with and without cable: Full streaming guide
In a marquee matchup near the end of Week 1 of the college football season, No. 7 Notre Dame heads to College Station to face No. 20 Texas A&M at Kyle Field. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 31, at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC, with College GameDay on-site earlier in the day. Will there be playoff implications? Some certainly think so.
For Texas A&M, this game marks the debut of head coach Mike Elko, who was hired to succeed the departed Jimbo Fisher. Elko spent two years turning around a Duke program, and before that, he was the Aggies' defensive coordinator from 2018-21.
The Fighting Irish will look to meet their high expectations with a win, as Duke transfer Riley Leonard steps in as quarterback, replacing Sam Hartman. Yes, Leonard played under Elko last season, and the added familiarity adds to the matchup intrigue.
