00:03 >> When you rank, this is the weirdest stat they have is right here, Ryan.

00:08 They rank 79th in college football, and most yards allowed per rush.

00:13 But they're second in tackles for loss,

00:16 which means they're getting gashed in the run game.

00:21 >> Their only chance is to stop behind line of scrimmage.

00:23 If they don't, if it's positive yards, it's probably for

00:26 a nice little game there, yeah.

00:27 >> And they rank sixth in sacks.

00:30 >> Yep. >> And yet they're 115th in passing

00:32 yards, 69th in yards per attempt, 77th in yards per completion,

00:36 92nd in quarterback rating, 78th in third down defense, 123rd in red zone defense.

00:43 And you're also not a team that really forces a bunch of turnovers.

00:48 >> Well, to illustrate that rushing yards, the conversation we just had,

00:53 though, also sacks count as off of the rushing total as well.

00:57 So that 152 yards that you lost on sacks is also taking off of the rushing total,

01:02 which is again just indicating nothing good against the run at all.

01:06 >> Exactly, and they've created a lot of negative plays, right, Ryan?

01:11 And so when you still are giving up that many yards per rush attempt, and

01:15 you've got created, meaning if Notre Dame, I'm gonna say this right now,

01:19 if Notre Dame had these numbers and disruptives, second in tackles for

01:23 Boston, sixth in sacks, they'd be giving up fewer than 10 points a game right now.

01:26 >> Yeah. >> And honestly, it'd be 7-0.
