7: Notre Dame’s AP Rank.
A fair ranking putting the Irish in the BCS conversation.
827: Total number of
passing yards Golson has over five games.
For perspective, Rakeem Cato of Marshall leads the nation with 2311
yards in six games with a 2-4 record.
I’ll take 5-0 any day.
269: Yards gained by George Atkinson III to lead the Irish
in rushing. That puts him at 147 in
Division I compared to number one ranked Stefphon Jefferson of Nevada with a
5-1 record in the MWC.
12 and 207:
Receptions and total yards Davaris Daniels has to lead Irish
receivers. For perspective, DeAndre
Hopkins from Clemson leads the nation with 777 yards and Tavon Austin of West
Virginia (5-0) and Tommy Schuler of Marshall (5-0) each have 58 receptions.
1: The most
touchdowns caught by any Irish receiver this season, total. Three players with one touchdown reception
each share the team lead. For
perspective, Stedman Bailey of West Virginia has 13 to lead the country.
9: Field goals made
by Notre Dame this season, 8 by Brindza and 1 by Tausch. For perspective, Steven Schott from Ball
State (3-3) has 14.
Overall the math does not add up. Most teams in the top ten with an undefeated
record usually have players higher up on the individual statistics list. Kelly’s “Process” makes the Irish different
than most teams.
