Saturday night was one to remember for Notre Dame football, as they marched into Kyle Field and defeated Texas A&M 23-13.
The Irish used a mid-fourth quarter burst to take the lead for good, after the teams had played to a 13-13 tie. The win was a huge one, especially considering it was the season opener, on the road against a top-25 opponent.
Notre Dame football’s social media along with a few others guided us through the game. Re-live the action through social media below.
