Inside the Numbers -- Notre Dame's Defense
This was a true gut check for the Notre Dame defense...
You're playing the top offense in the ACC and maybe the top offense in all of college football -- without your top safety in a 17 - 17 game when North Carolina gets the 2nd half kick-off...
Inside the performance of the Notre Dame defense:
- 17 points given up -- to a team that was averaging 40.2 pts. per game
- 298 yards given up -- to a team that averaged 533.9 yards per game
- 87 yards rushing given up -- to a team that averaged 217.2 yards per game
- 211 yards passing given up -- to a team that averaged 313.67 yards per game
- 6 QB sacks -- to a team that averaged giving up 3.6 QB sacks per game
North Carolina only gained 58 total yards in the 2nd half!
Clark Lea for President! WOW!
No one has done this to the North Carolina offense...
An absolute second half defensive clinic -- with Kyle Hamilton on the sidelines!
