Pro Football Focus grades from Texas A&M’s 23-13 loss to Notre Dame in Week 1

Texas A&M’s 2024 season opener vs. No. 7 Notre Dame ended in a 23-13 loss. The 107,000-plus fans in Kyle Field weren’t enough to help the Aggie offense find consistency. Starting quarterback Conner Weigman had the worst game of his collegiate career, throwing for 100 yards and two interceptions on the night.

Entering a new era, head coach Mike Elko’s introduction wasn’t what fans hoped to see, outside of impressive debuts from multiple defenders, including former Purdue defensive end Nic Scourton.

However, Texas A&M, despite the poor offensive performance, had chances to win the game, as the Aggie run defense allowed 198 rushing yards, including the game-sealing touchdown from Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love.

Looking at the numbers through Pro Football Focus, Texas A&M’s overall team grade was 54.8, the sixth worst in the country during the opening weekend. Under center, Conner Weigman had the worst offensive grade (29.0) and passing grade (28.0). PFF also noted that both of Weigman’s interceptions were with a clean pocket, so pressure cannot be blamed.

Texas A&M’s offensive grade (47.4) is second to last in the country as a team. Overall, it was a bad day in the office.

Texas A&M will look to rebound next weekend. On Saturday, Sept. 7, the Aggies will host McNeese. The game will air on the SEC Network at 11:45 a.m.
