[QUOTE="AE 87, post: 173505, member: 195"] As a loser at ESPN says, it's always risky to read in too much in a 1st week game. You just don't really know yet about the quality of opposition. What we do know is that ND didn't come out and do things to beat itself. They easily scored more than 3.1 ppd vs a pwr5 opp. Duke, by contrast, scored ~2.5 ppd against Tulane. ND also contained a pwr5 opp to less than 0.3 ppd. While you can't infer from this one game that ND must be a playoff team, you certainly can't say these stats are meaningless either, imo. ND scored TDs on 2 of their 1st 3 drives, I'm not sure how one concludes that was the Tx D getting tired because bad Tx O, though the collapse in the 2nd half may have been. ND seems to me to be legitimately strong on both lines. This will make them a tough out against anybody. Their next opp, UVA, showed very little against UCLA. I won't be surprised by similar results. Regardless, our game in two weeks will be big for both of us, and we'll enter with strikingly different prep in terms of competition. [/QUOTE]
