Conclusion; ND defense is 5-2-1 against scoring averages of opponents right now  (My buddy @jbrown_9999would say 5-3

analysis needed- Rush averages vs what ND allowed (open to your help)

                            Pass averages vs what ND allowed (open to your help)

 

 

FSU- 38      av. 29.9  0-1

Toledo-29   av. 28.5 0-1-1

Purdue-13   av. 22.9 1-1-1

Wisconsin-13  av.  21.9 2-1-1

Cincinnati- 24  av.  39.9 3-1-1

Virginia Tech 29  av.  24 3-2-1

USC- 16             av,  31.3 4-2-1

North Carolina 34   36.5 5-2-1

 

 

Just inconsistency in my opinion. This defense can be really good, but they should have held UNC to about 20 points today if they could tackle better. SO MANY MISSED TACKLES!

Faith, I will give you the push at Toledo.  🙂

Thanks felt bad. Buchner owes the defense Virginia Tech to at this point. Tyler threw a pick 6.

Some of the numbers look good. But my eyes show me we have real big problems. Tackling is a coaching issue.

There are glaring issues. But I want to see next year with his new higher rated linebackers, how it goes

THIS DEFENSE LOOKS BETTER WITH JOK AND LUIFAU PLAYING

Of course, JOK would make any defense better.  The question I have is do we have another defensive scheme that makes players think to much (BVG) and not just play the game. Are we spending so much time on the "concepts" and not enough on the fundamentals (tackling). 

 

Freeman is coming back I assume (unless someone gambles and makes him a HC) so I hope year 2 is better.

It doesn’t feel that way. BVG defenses weren’t even getting sacks and interceptions like this team. I just think he has the wrong guys playing defense right now.

Freeman is not BVG level bad (yet?). But I have concerns that make me question what the heck is happening. Players in the system to me is an excuse, while maybe plausible I believe it is overblown. Angles and wrapping up are fundamentals.  Navy will be a HUGE test.

I think White and Bertrand are better with Navy's skillset

@cali_domer I'm going to say they both have good games vs Navy

 

So lets put the players play thing to test. @cali_domer feel free to hold me to the above stat in the game thread next week.

Careful. I say this because both those guys are hurt right now. They not play their best in this game because of that. It will be a taxing game for sure. 

I'm Gambling on them for sure @coltssb I think thats why my friend @cali_domer is looking forward to holding me accountable when/if I'm wrong. I'm just doing it to spice up the board a bit.

I think ND defense has allowed an average of 137 yards rushing 1096 yards/8 games

                                                                          257.75  yards  passing    2062/8 games

 

Now I need to find the averages of the opponents

 

Post in progress thanks for your patience

 

The jury is still out on Freeman, however he deserves more time based on how well he is recruiting. If the cupboards weren’t bare at defensive back and we didn’t have the injuries at linebacker, I wonder how much better this D would look.
