NDs offense is now ranked in the top 10 in the country in F+ to match their #12 defense. The team is playing good football on both sides of the ball. These rankings are neutralized for opponent quality: so even though the competition has been complete dog-turd, and ND is being penalized heavily for the weak competition, ND is still producing enough offensively to be ranked in the top 10 and enough defensively to be ranked #12.
Coming into the year, I thought the Sam Hartman hype was out of control, but after 4 weeks, it's looking like i was way off/completely wrong. The hype was insane, and in retrospect he's outperforming the hype. He's been as good as any QB in the country. Estime has also been a total beast and another guy who I thought was being overhyped only to be proven wrong up to this point. The performance data is quickly changing my opinion on the entire offensive side of the ball.
More important than the individual examples of stars on the team, the player development in general seems to be going as good as ND fans could have hoped for. We got players from all parts of the 2 deep emerging into productive players and outperforming expectations. A lot of positive indicators going on with the program from the production on the field after 4 games, even when you adjust for lack of opponent quality. It feels good to have something positive to say about the ND football program after a brutal off-season.
Still lots of season left and a lot left to prove but a lot of positivity and things for ND fans to be excited about. The peripherals are all pointing in the right direction and a big win over #1 OSU could really catapult this team and the brand going forward especially with a young head coach who is starting to show signs of big time potential.
