For the second year in a row, the Notre Dame football team is clashing with a Top 25 Texas A&M at the start of the season. This time, it's not the first weekend of the season, and the Irish need a win to control their own destiny when it comes to the College Football Playoffs.
For the second straight week, ND is favored to win the game, but there is more than a bit of anxiety around the game. When the Fighting Irish kick off at 7:30 on Saturday night, it's going to be a big showdown.
