With players such as Liam Eichenberg, Robert Hainsey, Jarrett Patterson, Aaron Banks and Tommy Kraemer, it is no surprise Notre Dame’s offensive line is the third-highest-graded unit in the country at 92.5, behind only Buffalo (97.0) and BYU (93.0).

The unit is the only one in the playoff that boasts a top-10 pass-blocking grade (84.2) as well as a top-10 run-blocking grade (94.3).

Eichenberg, Patterson and Banks have yet to allow a sack this season, with the entire group allowing just four on the year, fifth-fewest among FBS O-lines with over 300 pass-blocking snaps. They are no slouch in the running game either, allowing their running backs to gain 1,052 rushing yards before contact, third-most in the Power Five this season.

PFF is almost worthless (unless it props up a desired conclusion :-)) BYU and Buffalo? Come on. That sounds like a computer's conclusion. Need humans to intervene when a computer makes a fool of itself. You know, kinda like the College Football Playoff Committee vs BCS computers.

ND probably has a good OL, but 3rd behind BYU and Buffalo. That's embarrassing. That's like saying Coastal Carolina's 10-0 (before they had to play mighty Liberty) record means it is better than Clemson and ND who are 10-1.
