Notre Dame’s offensive line issues were highly-publicized going into this matchup, but the Fighting Irish have been able to run the ball fairly consistently all things considered — particularly to the left side. That run boosted Notre Dame’s yards-per-carry average to 6 on the night.
Prior to that run, Jeremiyah Love had been Notre Dame’s most effective running back vs. the Aggies with 46 yards on 8 carries. Quarterback Riley Leonard has also been efficient in the run game against Texas A&M’s vaunted front 7.
Notre Dame closed as a 3-point underdog against the Aggies. Texas A&M’s offense has struggled to create scoring opportunities against the Irish all night.
Notre Dame is looking for its 8th ranked win of the Marcus Freeman era.
