When College Gameday comes to town, that means the ESPN A team is usually coming with them. That's the case here, as Aggie fans will hear Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit, and Holly Rowe on the call this Saturday. The game will air on ABC at 6:30 PM.
Forecasts right now call for some possibly cooler temperatures than you might expect: current projections have the temperature at 85 degrees and a 20% chance of rain. That's positively freezing relative to most Texas summers, but I'm sure the Fighting Irish won't mind.
Who is injured for Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame?
Texas A&M will be missing Rueben Owens after a likely season-ending foot injury in the first fall camp scrimmage. WR Jabre Barber is still on the way back after suffering an injury in the spring, but won't be back in time for this one. Other than that, the Aggies look to be pretty healthy.
Notre Dame will be missing Charles Jagusah, who was a presumed starter at tackle after a very solid 2023. Chance Tucker, a backup CB, will also miss, as will backup DL Gabe Rubio. Several key players for Notre Dame, including all-American level talents Benjamin Morrison and Howard Cross III, are working their way back from injury as well.
