ND Stats

[Utah]

ND ran the ball 45 times per game. They threw it 24 times per game. 

That is not a winning formula against Utah, me thinks. 

[Utah]

I think ND returns everyone. Like maybe 1 or 2 people off their defense is new. That’s it. 

I expect them to run, run, run. 

Eat up the clock. 

I expect a lot of three and outs for their offense. 

ND ran 70 plays/game last year. Their goal is probably 60 (shorten the game). 

Because of Utah’s defense, I expect Utah to have around 80 plays on offense. 

Utah averaged 0.4 points per play last year. Taylor averaged 0.7 points per play. 

If Taylor can up that to 0.55 points per play, that’s 44 points. 

[Utah]

BUT, what scares me is that we are playing a TON of first or second year players. That’s ripe for TO’s. 

QB, RB, WR, OL, DL, CB, S are all have players in their first or second year at Utah. 😳
