ND Offense - Stat culled from a Yahoo Sports Article

[SavannahBee]

SHORT YARDAGE WOES: Despite averaging 5.4 yards a carry overall, the Irish have struggled in third down with less than 4 yards to go, going 0-for-8 through two games.

Very interesting stat. Did not expect to see that one!

Good find. If that continues we'll have a very big game.

Let's see what our front 6 can do this year against a big, physical OL tomorrow.

But is it SEC big, and physical lol.

Yeah, I was rewatching their game with UVA. I'm sure all 5 of their OL will be NFL draft picks, but they do not come off the ball and drive block well. They are definitely a pass blocking line. They look like 5 tackles out there, as opposed to teams like UGAg and FSU who have some road graders at the G-C-G spots. It was also funny today to listen to all the discussions anointing DeShone Kizer based on his late TD heroics. Not a single pundit mentioned the play 4 or 5 passes earlier where he stared down a receiver and the UVA d-back dropped a likely game-ending pick 6. DJ, Chris and Jamal would have taken it to the house on them.

They beat Virginia without EVER converting a first down...

That is just a crazy statistic.

Seriously? There is only one other team that I know of that won a game without recording a first down: Georgia Tech. Against Cumberland.

They didn't convert any third and short downs for first downs....but I'm pretty certain they did convert some first downs vs UVA.

LMAO....Gotsis on the film Rudy "I watched half of it and fell asleep"

Dangit. I meant converting a 3rd down. They were 0-10. Which is crazy when they had 460 yards and 20 total first downs.

Blame it on the bourbon.
