Nate Boerkircher hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass from Marcel Reed with three seconds left and No. 16 Texas A&M took advantage of No. 8 Notre Dame’s botched extra point to survive 41-40 on Saturday night at Notre Dame Stadium.
Facing their second ranked opponent of the early season, the Fighting Irish (1-1) found themselves in another game that went down to the final possessions. Notre Dame lost 27-24 at Miami in Week 1.
Texas A&M (3-0) beat a ranked opponent on the road for the first time since late in the 2014 season, when the Aggies knocked off No. 3 Auburn.
