Three takeaways from Texas A&M football's frustrating opening loss vs Notre Dame

3 Takeaways from Texas A&M football vs. Notre Dame: Offensive line looks far improved

Here's the other silver lining I saw in this game: at really no point during the evening was the offensive line a storyline in a bad way. Against a really, really solid Notre Dame front, the Aggie OL got some solid push, leading to a run game that looked honestly much more promising than I expected.

Even after center Mark Nabou went down with injury, the Aggie front was still able to hold up relatively well. Just take a look at this rep from Kansas transfer Arma'j Reed-Adams against an all-American level talent in Rylie Mills:

Now, it wasn't perfect last night by any means. But the encouraging thing going forward was that, against maybe the toughest front the Aggies will see this year, their offensive linemen more than held their own.

We await word on Nabou—Elko last night mentioned that he would have been able to return, but we never saw it come to fruition—but hopefully he'll be a full go. As this team continues to mesh in a new system, having a strong offensive line will do them lots of good.
