28 SEPT. 7, 2024 BLUE & GOLD ILLUSTRATED going to play us in man all night," Elko said. All night. From start to finish. The Aggies used their slot man to try to free up the field receiver, Gray's re- sponsibility, with a rub route. The Notre Dame sophomore didn't backpedal to a point of taking himself out of the play and into the direction of the decoy. The would-be pick play was therefore a non- issue. Gray sprinted right by it and em- phatically broke up A&M quarterback Conner Weigman's intended quick slant. The pass, on fourth-and-2 from the Aggies own 33 with 1:37 remaining, did not stand a chance. A lot of what Weigman did, or didn't do, through the air against Notre Dame did not stand a chance. That's by Golden's design. TEXAS A&M INDIVIDUAL STATISTICS Rushing Att. Gain Lost Net Avg.
