In the span of a few hours on Saturday, Marshall slayed No. 8 Notre Dame, Appalachian State dropped No. 6 Texas A&M and Georgia Southern beat Nebraska
left with a very unpleasant addition to his résumé: he is the first Notre Dame coach to start with three losses in a row .
It was an ugly loss for the Aggies that likely slays their ambitions of making the College Football Playoff before the season could make it into October. It was made worse by the price tag: Texas A&M paid Appalachian State $1.5 million to play at Kyle Field. Like so many Nebraska games last season, in which the team suffered nine single-digit losses, Saturday’s contest came down to the final drive. Quarterback Casey Thompson had 30 seconds to get his team up the field and managed to set up a 52-yard field goal attempt with one second remaining. The kick sailed wide left.
All of that happened on a day when there was very nearly another field-rushing earlier in the day in Austin, when unranked Texas hosted No. 1 Alabama. Texas held its own in the trenches, largely neutralizing Alabama’s offensive line, arguably the team’s weak spot during its run to the title game last season.
