After almost two weeks off, Notre Dame will return to the field, as they’ll host the Texas A&M Aggies later tonight. It’s a matchup of two top-25 teams, one that will have an impact nationally. The Irish are looking for their first win, while the Aggies already have two on the year.

Saturday night is a chance for the Irish to show they're serious about making a return to the College Football Playoff.
