With all due respect to LSU vs. USC, Clemson vs. Georgia, or Penn State at West Virginia, the game of this opening weekend is unquestionably the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the Texas A&M Aggies. One of the loudest venues in sports welcoming a new head coach creates enough drama on its own, let alone when hosting a Playoff hopeful suddenly leaning on a freshman at left tackle.
Again, Jagusah played well, but did he play so well as to move this spread by a point when he tore his pec in preseason practices? How many left tackles are genuinely worth a point to a spread? Yes, a step down on the offensive line will be exacerbated againstdefensive line, led by Purdue transfer Nic Scourton at defensive end.
This has been an overreaction to an injury. Perhaps Scourton and the 12th Man’s volume provide all the difference in Mike Elko’s debut. That could have been the case against Jagusah, too. This overreaction creates value for the shrewd bettor.One way for Notre Dame to lessen the worry at left tackle — and keep in mind, the Irish have had nearly four full weeks to address and scheme this worry — is to mobilize quarterbackon offense.
This total spent nearly three months at 48.5 before, again, the Jagusah injury created market confidence in Texas A&M’s defense, driving the total down to 46.5.
