Edit- Sorry. This didn’t format well.. I’ll try and fix it
Every game is different, no doubt, but do you want to know how good your team is? Consider the following:
At the end of November, ND went on the road to then #25 UNC where they hadn't lost all year at home and beat a team that was supposed to give them some problems because of their explosive offense. Not only did ND prevail, but they shut out UNC in the 2nd half.
This week, now #19 UNC went on the road to take on #10 Miami and absolutely throttled them. Here are some statistical comparisons:
UNC On Offense
UNC vs. ND - Miami
1st downs. ND 14. - Miami 31
3rd down eff. ND 2-12. - Miami 6-11
Total Yards. ND 298. - Miami 778
Passing. ND 211. - Miami 224
Rushing. ND 87 - Miami 554
Time of Possess. ND 24:56. - Miami 40:19
Sam Howell. ND 63%. - Miami 74%
Just to throw a handful of salt on this wound, Sam Howell caught a TD pass from Rontavius Groves, a UNC wide receiver, to open the 4th Q. Groves was 1-1 (100%) for 1 yard and 1 TD. As of now, he does not have enough attempts to qualify for the league lead in completion percentage. That was a little bit of sarcasm.
UNC Defensively (allowed)
TotalYards. ND 478. - Miami 314
Passing. ND 279. - Miami 239
Rushing. ND 199. - Miami 75
Yards per rush. ND 5.5. - Miami 2.8
QBs. ND Book 70%. - Miami King/Van Dyke. 56%
UNC scored 28 2nd half points against Miami, 21 in the 4th Q alone.
The best part of the UNC/Miami game? The Turnover Chain did not make an appearance.
My point? Your Irish are pretty damn good. On both sides of the ball.
