Texas A&M to Face Notre Dame in 2024

The 2024 college football season kicks off with Texas A&M hosting Notre Dame in a highly anticipated matchup. Mike Elko begins his first season as the Aggies' head coach, focusing on improving the team's overall practices and handling of 'small things' after a challenging off-season. The Aggies face a significant setback with the loss of star running back Rueben Owens to injury, leading to increased responsibilities for Le’Veon Moss and Amari Daniels, along with the addition of transfer EJ Smith. Meanwhile, Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman aims to continue the tradition of success seen in third-year head coaches at the university, as both teams look to secure advantages in their historical head-to-head record, which currently favors Notre Dame at 3-2. The Aggies have made a substantial roster overhaul, adding 28 players via the transfer portal, indicating a strategy shift under Elko. The game promises to be a pivotal moment for both programs as they seek to establish their identities early in the season.
