I hate to ruin a good laugh at Notre Dame's expense, but there is a worse unit in the country, and it is most decidedly not anyone's defense.

Notre Dame scores 46.9% as many points as their opponents typically allow to other D-IA schools. Those of you familiar with my stats know this as Differential Scoring Offense (DSO). Notre Dame's paltry DSO ranks #118 in the country out of 119 schools.

Number 119 is Florida International, and they score only 35.4% as many points as their opponents typically give up. Seriously. They are scoring fewer points in D-IA competition than Ohio State is allowing on defense. To put it another way, they are making the defenses on their Sun Belt schedule look like the Ohio State defense.


You guys need to lighten up on Charlie, pun intended.

Notre Dame's offense is only the 2nd worst in the country.

Where in the hell's the fun in bashing FIU? You ever met an arrogant FIU fan? Have you ever met AN FIU fan?

We've got Domer nation and their orange cream margarita drinkin-LOL111!!!!ing representative on our board to keep in line.

Now lets just get back to some good old fashioned ND trashing, shall we?

Charlie Wies is so fat.......

But that doesn't take into account that almost half NoD's points were scored by their defense. And most of their scoring "drives" on offense were 10 yards or less and set up by turnovers or special teams returns. What would the DSO score be just w/o the defensive scores. Of course maybe FIU is also 'benefitiing' from non-offense scores and short fields.

I'd also argue that 'worst' doesn't just mean lowest stats. FIU's offense should be inept, they're one of the worst, least talented teams in division 1-A (despite all the Florida speed that must be on that team). NoD has far more talent available than FIU and is coached by the greatest* offensive genius ever and led by the best emu in high school football history. Yet NoD is threatening to set records for offensive futility. NoD's offense should at least be with in the top half of 1-A schools (in either basic stats or differential).

*strictly in terms of mass
