re: Is Notre Dame's defense better than LSU?

quote:

Best Defense we faced was UGA.




Their defense was allowing huge run after huge run in the second half. They were gassed.

LSU had wayy more depth.

Not really true. The difference was in the number of times the two defenses were run at not necessarily the quality/depth of the D. LSU only held Bama RB's to 6 fewer inches per rush and only had to face them 22 times vs 45 times. What would they have looked like in the second half if they had been run at that many times?
