notre dame was pretty damn good
If Notre Dame's OL "was pretty damn good", UT's OL had to have been at least equal to. Right?
I know you've been a vocal critic of Elarbee, "even his beard annoys me"; but, the math's not mathing...especially whenever you consider they played a schedule nowhere in the vicinity of ours.
Notre Dame averaged 399 total yards per game this year. UT: 447
Notre Dame averaged 201 yards rushing per game this year (5.7 ypc). UT: 226 (5.0 ypc)
Leonard (a Sr. and 3 year starter, who played in 41 games in his career), completed 67% of his passes for 2861 yds, 21 TDs and 8 Ints. He was sacked 20 times. ND gave up 25 sacks total.
Nico (a RS Fr, who has played in 18 games in his career) completed 64% of his passes for 2616 yds, 19 TDs and 5 Ints. He was sacked 28 times. UT gave up 30 sacks total.
Against OSU...
ND: 308 total yards (147 of which came in the 4th quarter). 53 rushing yards; and, their OL gave up 2 sacks...on a neutral field.
UT: 256 total yards. 152 rushing; and, our OL gave up 3 sacks...in Columbus.
