Notre Dame won the hardest video game on its schedule and has a clear course to the CFP. << br><> < br>> Yes, I’m tweeting this in Week 1. And I feel great about it.

Notre Dame gets it done at Kyle Field. Wasn’t quite however that’s a difficult location to play.

Notre Dame with a hard win in College Station versus Texas A& M. Think they are a playoff group, however genuine concern is truly how the offense will develop, more significantly the offending line and receivers as the season advances. Need to keep focus. << a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NotreDame?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">> #NotreDame< < a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/CollegeFootball?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">> #CollegeFootball<

I dislike to state it however Notre Dame tries to find genuine. They won in a difficult roadway environment and Marcus Freeman is a gutsy coach who has his group all set to go through brick walls.
Nick Cattles @NickCRadio
It worked. Excellent win with a young O-Line, on the roadway, and in an extremely hard environment. Simply got ta tidy up the flags. << a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NotreDame?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">> #NotreDame< < a href="https://t.co/j56Jk9yNUn">> https://t.co/j56Jk9yNUn

This Notre Dame group is difficult. Fantastic win on the roadway tonight at a ranked SEC group.
Slim @livejetlife
Difficult video game however Notre dame did the damn thing Tonight. far better group than in 2015
The season opener left to a sluggish start as neither Notre Dame nor Texas A&M made it to the end zone through 2 quarters. The groups entered into the halftime break connected 6-6.
Travis Tyler @TravisTyler__
Texas A& M 6 Notre Dame 6 at the half. << br><> < br>> Probably anticipated a bit more juice from the offenses however these defenses have actually been as marketed
manny @patsandbruins9
Ideally the Notre dame offense can secure. Defense been conserving all of us video game
The Fighting Irish lastly triggered some offense in the 3rd quarter as running back Jadarian Price ran for a 47-yard goal to put Notre Dame ahead.
