College Football Week 1 Scores, Updates: No. 7 Notre Dame Defeats No. 20 Texas A&M in Back-and-Forth Battle

Labor Day weekend means college football has officially begun.

No. 1 Georgia started off with an absolute show of force, beating No. 14 Clemson 34-3 in their season opener. Heisman favorite Carson Beck was on point during the marquee showdown, throwing for 278 yards and two touchdowns in the win.

No. 19 Miami defeated in-state rival Florida in the afternoon period, with new QB Cam Ward throwing for 385 yards and three touchdowns in his debut for Miami.

Elsewhere, No. 4 Texas and No. 8 Penn State both fared well. Arch Manning scored the first touchdowns of his career in cleanup duty as the Longhorns beat Colorado State, and PSU QB Drew Allar looked very comfortable in the Nittany Lions’ new-look offense in a win over West Virginia.

In the late game, No. 7 Notre Dame held its own in a heavyweight battle with No. 20 Texas A&M, winning 23-13. The two teams traded blows throughout before the Irish broke the tie late with their rushing attack and strong defense.
