“Give me Notre Dame,” Davis told Pete Thamel on ESPN’s College GameDay podcast. “I think Notre Dame, in primetime, at home. Defense will be good. I’ll take the Irish.”

While Davis doesn’t see Texas A&M exacting revenge for last year’s loss, Thamel does, thanks to quarterback Marcel Reed.

“I’m gonna take Gig ‘Em here,” Thamel said. “[This] was a coin-flip game last year. Trench game, low scoring. I think Marcel Reed’s experience will lead to him having a breakout signature victory.”
