Posted December 19, 20212 yr comment_740863 Scoring Offense: 20th (35.3 points a game) Rushing yards per game: 73rd (152.50 per game) Pass yards per game: 34th (263.6 per game) Total offense 55th(416.3) Scoring Defense: T-9th (Minnesota- 18.3 points per game) Rush Defense: 31st (127.25 yards per game) Pass Defense: 39th (212 yards per game) Total Defense: 28th (339.3 yards per game) Source: http://cfbstats.com/2021/national/index.html I need a break if anyone wants to do the split stats please be my guest. Basically these indicate that ND is scoring better(more on offense, allowing less on defense) than their national statistical ranks would indicate. So I would assume our redzone defense and turnover margin are fairly good and our points per yard of offense is pretty good. As I thought, long way to go. Defense is trending better then the offense
December 19, 20212 yr comment_740892 you know, it says a lot that our offense struggled during the first half of the year and still had the 20th scoring offense nationwide. The run offense does not surprise me, our running game was never really there and if not for Kyren making his own yards, it could have been a lot worse. It is also interesting that our defense was 9th overall even with that terrible FSU game that never should have been that bad in the first place. Just another piece of evidence that Prevent Defense is useless.

Welcome to domerdomain! While that is true, because the heart cannot be quantified, we have to go by the numbers, which is what most players are drafted on. However, that is why certain players (with less talent) become fan favorites. The fans who see them every week know they have heart and root for the guy.
