Coach Marcus Freeman Enjoying The Moment!

Here's What We Have To Be Concerned About Today


If you did not watch the game and just looked at Notre Dame's offensive stats for the game -- you'd be hard pressed to think the Irish won the game, let alone by 28 points...

Here's what is concerning:

  • For the fourth straight week -- Notre Dame was lousy on 3rd down:
    • USC game:  ND was 3 for 10 on third down
    • Louisville game:  ND was 3 for 13 on third down
    • Duke game:  ND was 3 for 15 on third down
    • Ohio State game:  ND was 5 for 10 on third down
  •  The average this season for college football is 66.9 offensive plays per game
    • USC game:  ND ran 49 plays on offense
    • Louisville game:   ND ran 55 plays on offense
    • Duke game:  ND ran 63 plays on offense
    • Ohio State game:  ND ran 64 plays on offense
       

 We have to improve our offensive performance going forward.
