Notre Dame doesn’t shy away from tough openers, and this is no exception. Saturday night is QB Riley Leonard’s first game in a Notre Dame uniform after transferring to Duke, but he’ll be playing behind a revamped offensive line that lost three starters from 2023. First-year Texas A&M coach Mike Elko brings a defense that has lots of new faces but is still plenty talented. And QB Connor Weigman returns as the Aggies’ starting quarterback with the goal of staying healthy for the whole season.

Michigan tacks on a field goal to extend its lead to 13-3 over Fresno State, but it’s been a bit of a struggle offensively for the Wolverines and QB Davis Warren, who started today over Alex Orji.
Oddly enough, Orji has Michigan’s only TD pass on his only attempt of the day. He’s mostly been used as a RB otherwise.
UNLV is having its way with Houston, which entered as a slight favorite.
UNLV leads 24-0 late in the 3rd.
Tied at the half
It didn’t go anywhere for Notre Dame. The defenses have held strong as neither team has found the end zone so far.
Notre Dame INT!
Notre Dame’s Xavier Watts picks off Texas A&M QB Conner Weigman, his 2nd pick thrown today.
The Irish will have 46 seconds to get into scoring range before the half.
Another halftime check: No. 6 Ole Miss leads Furman 52-0
The Irish had the ball inside Texas A&M’s 10 but couldn’t do anything with it and settled for a short field goal.
Dillon Gabriel is not having an easy debut thus far for Oregon. He suffered a finger injury in the first quarter and now he’s fumbled the ball away as the pocket collapsed under pressure from Idaho.
Interception Notre Dame!
Notre Dame’s Adon Shuler picks off Conner Weigman. The Irish have the ball deep in Aggie territory.
Scoreboard update
Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy had jokes after the Cowboys’ season-opening win Saturday.
Mike Gundy asked about helmet communications, and if he can hear what’s being said.
“I can’t. They won’t let me hear it. If we can get a good IT guy, maybe that one from Michigan (Connor Stalions) that’d be good. Even though he didn’t do it.”
