We won’t have to wait long for this one.
Week 1, which we will dissect in full soon enough, will provide plenty of information on both teams with enormous expectations.
To put it simply, I have concerns about Notre Dame. Those concerns were amplified when we learned Charles Jagusah, the presumed starter at left tackle, will miss the entire season after suffering an injury in camp.
That news, coupled with massive changes and losses across the line, could put new quarterback Riley Leonard, who is coming off a major ankle injury, in a tough spot.
Texas A&M, of course, is not without issues. New head coach Mike Elko lost his fair share of quality players to the transfer portal, although the return of QB Conner Weigman, who has battled his own injury issues, is intriguing. When healthy, the 21-year-old has the makeup to be an elite collegiate QB.
The offensive line and defensive line are ripe with players, and the skill group has plenty of players as well. Throw in a massive home-field advantage to start off the season, and the Aggies are in a position to start Elko’s tenure with a bang.
