    Here's how the Notre Dame defense held Texas A&M's QB in check

    Notre Dame won a defensive struggle against Texas A&M 23-13 on Saturday, and what the Fighting Irish defense did to Aggies’ quarterback Conner Weighman is a big part.

    Pro Football Focus gave Weigman the worst passing grade in the nation, with a 28.0 mark.

    The Aggies overall offensive grade wasn’t much better at 29.0

    Give the credit to the Notre Dame defense, which despite self-destructing with some penalties that led to the Aggie’s game-tying touchdown, was stingy most of the night. The Irish D continued to bailout the offense, which was inconsistent early, until the offense was able to come up with the big plays needed to win.
