MF’s statement is one of relativity, not objectivity
If your peers suffer 2 to 3 season ending injuries per season, prior of the start of the season and Notre Dame suffers 6 season ending injuries prior to the start of the season it indicates that Notre Dame has a unique problem, that they have an excessive number of season ending injuries
If Notre Dame previously suffered 10 season ending injuries prior to the opening of the season and this year they experienced 6 season ending in injuries prior to the season this year, and the coach states that the team is healthier than in prior years, it’s a statement based on relativity and not objectivity because those 6 season ending injuries are in excess of Notre Dame’s competitive peer group
And it begs the following questions:
If 6 season ending injuries prior to the start of the season is the healthiest that Notre Dame has been in the last 10 or 15 years, why are season ending injuries so prevalent at Notre Dame
Why does Notre Dame’s injury rate exceed its competitive peer group’s season ending injuries ?
Why is Notre Dame suffering more season ending injuries than its peers ?
What’s the cause?
I’d like to see the data that MF is referencing
