Notre Dame football 2024 practice: Depth chart projections, Riley Leonard predictions by Irish insiders

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are gearing up for their season-opening showdown against the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday, Aug. 31. The Fighting Irish will try to live up to the preseason hype in a raucous atmosphere known as Kyle Field. Notre Dame is ranked No. 7 in the AP Top 25, so Marcus Freeman’s Notre Dame football roster will try to secure an early victory against the 20th-ranked Aggies to strengthen its shot at a playoff berth.
