Last night's victory over Notre Dame was the first time Texas A&M got a non-conference road win vs. a top-10 team since 1979.

This was a significant win for the Aggies for not just the brand, but in that it silences the haters and puts the Aggies on the map as a legitimate team. This was also a frustrating, but rewarding game for the Aggies, as Mike Elko will certainly address the 13 penalties for 86 yards.

This came with plenty of obvious risers, but unfortunately, also some obvious fallers. Here are three risers and two fallers for what ended up becoming a historic result for Texas A&M over Notre Dame.

Shined: Nate Boerkircher

Does this really need an explanation? On 4th-and-goal at the 11, down to your last play and possibly your last receiving option, Boerkircher makes a perfect adjustment on a one-and-one play and makes the grab for the game-winning score.

Boerkircher is more of a blocker, but he ended up being a hero for what was an incredible victory.

Sunk: Theo Melin Ohrstrom

Hopefully, we won't do this often. Off an amazing kick return by Terry Bussey which would've been a score to take the lead, Ohrstrom ended up holding a man on the return that had nothing to do woth the play.

Ohrstrom did have his only two catches on that last drive, and ended up with two grabs for nine yards.

Maybe the football gods intended for the game-winner to come at the last few seconds for the Aggies anyway, but we know Ohrstrom will come back and perform better.

Shined: Mario Craver

This should need little explanation too. Craver had a historic game for Texas A&M receivers, and ended up finishing with seven catches, 207 yards and a touchdown.

Craver had over 170 at the end of the first half, and it was just a matter of time before he would hit 200.

Craver is one of the reasons why the Aggies are where they are.

Sunk: Dametrious Crownover

Several penalties had to do with the right tackle, Dametrious Crownover.

Normally, the offensive line should not be on this list, but Crownover had some key penalties that held the Aggies back.

They all did a great job opening up holes for Le'Veon Moss, who will featured next on our list.

Shined: Le'Veon Moss

It doesn't look that great on paper, but if you punch it in three times, nonetheless, you're going to be on this list.

Moss finished with 20 carries, 81 yards and three scores. His average yards per carry was 4.1 yards, and Aggie fans probably would've felt comfortable with him to finish with more, he did his job.
