It'd be an understatement to say Mario Craver has been balling for the Texas A&M Aggies. It's also safe to say that folks in the media were definitely underestimating him after Week 1. He's shined since his Aggies debut, and he's only gotten better over the last two weeks.

At the halftime break, Craver is having a monster night against Notre Dame. He has six catches for 173 yards, one of which was this amazing 86-yard touchdown. He's already showing us why this was a gigantic grab. There's all kinds of significance here, and it shows really how desperate the Aggies were to get some depth at the receiving end.

Craver doesn't care though, he only cares if his team gets the 'W' in the end.

Craver is having a historic game already against Notre Dame

This is something special to see. Texas A&M hasn't been known for too many recievers go off like this in a single game, and Craver is doing it all in one half.

For many folks that may have forgotten, Ryan Swope was a member of the Aggies during the Ryan Tannehill and Johnny Manziel era. Swope became engraved into A&M memory after his incredible game in his senior year against No. 1 Alabama in 2012. This shows how deep Mike Elko had to dig in the portal to get someone like Craver.

When we compare of how things went last season, let's just say this is only a preview of what Craver has done so far.

A&M fans are probably laughing at the fact that they were held back last season by a freshman quarterback and a low depth of wide receivers. Craver and KC Concepcion have been some of the best in the SEC in terms of receivers.

They have to get the win, that's the important thing, but the Aggies are balling, and it's all thanks to Craver having a monster first half.
