"Elko's team proved much more resilient against the type of team where it typically wilts. Texas A&M erased five deficits to stun No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40, recording its first road win against an AP top 10 opponent since 2014 at Auburn, and its first road triumph against an AP top 10 nonleague opponent since 1979 (No. 6 Penn State)."
""Sometimes it has to happen that way, sometimes it's going to be ugly," Elko said. "That's the door we had to kick down. I don't think we were going to magically become a team that everything was going to go smoothy. We had to kick this door down, and we did that tonight. The thrown chair and broken door left Texas A&M with an open window to push for its first College Football Playoff appearance.""
Texas A&M overcame repeated mistakes to beat No. 8 Notre Dame 41-40 at Notre Dame Stadium. The Aggies erased five deficits and won on a fourth-and-goal touchdown pass from Marcel Reed to tight end Nate Boerkircher with 13 seconds remaining, followed by Randy Bond's game-winning PAT. Texas A&M endured a blocked punt returned for a touchdown, an interception by Reed, weak third-down defense and 13 penalties. Reed completed 17 of 37 passes but averaged 21.2 yards per completion. Mario Craver gained 207 receiving yards, the first Aggie with 200+ since 2013.
