College Station, Texas – The Texas A&M Aggies have made a triumphant start to their 2025 college football season, boasting an impressive 3-0 record as they prepare for the intensifying competition of the SEC. In their latest outing, the Aggies delivered a nail-biting victory over the No. 8-ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish, winning 41-40 and avenging a previous defeat from last season.
Under the guidance of head coach Mike Elko, now in his second year, Texas A&M has shown significant improvement. Last year’s season began with a 2-1 record, but this year they have picked up momentum with a powerful offense, a stark contrast to last year’s performance against Notre Dame where they failed to produce explosive plays. This year, the Aggies displayed their offensive prowess with multiple explosive plays throughout the matchup.
Quarterback Marcel Reed has emerged as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate, ranking 15th nationally in passing yards with 869 yards and sharing third place in passing touchdowns with nine. Reed’s outstanding performance, coupled with key contributions from his teammates, has been vital to the team’s strong offensive display.
Wide receiver Mario Craver was a standout performer against Notre Dame, tallying seven receptions for 207 yards and an 86-yard touchdown. His performance marked a significant milestone as he became the first Aggie receiver to surpass 200 receiving yards in a game since Mike Evans in 2013.
In addition to Reed and Craver’s impressive contributions, running back Le’Veon Moss showcased his skills by scoring three rushing touchdowns during the Notre Dame shootout, further solidifying the Aggies’ offensive capabilities. The team generated a total of 488 yards of offense against Notre Dame, a remarkable increase from their 246-yard outing in last year’s season opener.
Looking forward, the Aggies will enter their first conference game of the season against the No. 22-ranked Auburn Tigers after enjoying a bye week in Week 4. The upcoming SEC schedule poses various challenges, and Texas A&M aims to maintain its momentum as they confront tough opponents in the weeks ahead.
In conclusion, the Texas A&M Aggies are off to a strong start this season and have set high expectations for their forthcoming SEC play. With a blend of skilled players and a powerful offensive strategy, the Aggies are focused on building on their success.
