They only had 3 points against Clemson in regulation during matchup #1, with 10 of them coming off turnovers (Fumble TD, Field Goal off fumble). So realistically 23 points on offensive drives. They had 10 points in matchup #2. Run game is mediocre, passing game has no real deep ball, they excel in short-mid range passing and QB scrambles.
If they score >13 i'm betting it's on a defensive touchdown (fumble, pick six). Feel really strongly that 20ish is their upper bound.

Which happens to be Alabama's Achilles heel.

ND is a much tougher matchup for our defense than people are giving them credit for. It’s a much different game than Florida.
ND’s strengths on offense all happen to matchup perfectly with our weaknesses on defense.
Interior Run Game: Its well documented that we aren’t the Saban-Bama-D of old between the tackles. ND have a great run blocking OL (Moore Award) and a good RB. Their interior running game will be as good as we have seen since Georgia.
Middle Of Field Passing: Their 2 best receivers are both TEs. Their top 3 actual WRs have less receptions, combined, than Devonta Smith by himself. The Yeboah (OM) / Nydermeyer (A&M) /Pitts (UF) playbook is what ND is best at in the passing game. They hardly even try to get vertical outside the hashes.
Improvisation: Its also well documented that our D has had fits over the years dealing with players who have the ability to make plays outside of the play design. Book is one of the better playground players in the country. Almost all of ND’s downfield offense comes off of these plays. He isn’t Manziel/Newton/Watson good, but he is a better than the likes of Mond (A&M), Chad Kelly (OM), Nix/Marshall (AU).
Vertical Passing Game: Our biggest strength by far on defense this year. Surtain/Jobe/Moore have been great in coverage on WRs and our pass rush has went from lukewarm at the beginning of the year to red hot the last 5 games of the season. Unfortunately, ND barely even attempts to attack a defense here by design.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them put up between 30-35, and I know that will have some people raging here. But I don’t think they can keep our offense out of the 40s, so we should still be able to handle them.
