Looking at that Notre Dame played the #3 and #4 toughest defense, and both gave up 20 points. Guess Bama will win 21-20.So I am hearing some things that LSU is a better D, and if we are not better than LSU we most likely won't win...
I'd say there are probably 2-3 teams in CFB that have a chance of winning in Death Valley with what you guys had at stake. It is an impressive win. In any case, this site provides some good stats. It is purely opponent-adjusted, and is very reputable. The best defense you all have faced is LSU at 12, and they held you to 331 and 21 points. If LSU can do that, I see no reason why ND can. With opponent adjusted statistics, we are the best defense you will face all year.
