09/14/25 - QB Marcel Reed, rSo/2028, Texas AM

Marcel Reed escaped pressure to throw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Nate Boerkircher with 13 seconds left, Randy Bond kicked the extra point and No. 16 Texas A&M beat No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40 on Saturday night. "I don't think Nate had a target all game, but when his name was called, he was ready," Reed said. Texas A&M (3-0) beat a Top 25 team on the road for the first time since knocking off then-No. 3 Auburn on Nov. 8, 2014. The Aggies had lost 13 straight road games to ranked opponents. "I don't know that anything went to script in terms of how you want to go about winning a game on the road," said Texas A&M coach Mike Elko, a former Notre Dame assistant coach. "We just kept fighting, kept battling, kept scrapping. Ultimately, we made one more play than they did." Notre Dame dropped to 0-2 after playing in the national title game last season.

The Irish opened with a 24-27 loss at No. 5 Miami on Aug. 31. "You've got to go to work and practice and get better," coach Marcus Freeman said. "We're 0-2. So what do you control? You control getting better and getting ready for the next one. I can't sit here and dwell on being 0-2 as much as I need to dwell on how do we find ways to improve." Notre Dame pushed ahead 40-34 with 2:53 to go on Jeremiyah Love's 12-yard run. A botched snap on the extra point kept the lead at six. Texas A&M started at its 26 on the winning drive after a 99-yard kickoff return by Terry Bussey was negated by a holding penalty, but quickly reached Notre Dame territory. Mario Craver, who had an 86-yard TD reception in the first quarter, gained 34 yards on a pass from Reed to the 37. Texas A&M reached the Notre Dame 10 and survived back-to-back penalties before the winning score. Reed was 17 of 37 for a career-high 360 yards and two touchdowns. Carver caught seven passes for 207 yards. Love gained 94 yards on 23 carries, and quarterback C.J. Carr was 20 of 32 with a touchdown and an interception. - Texas AM/AP College Football
