Total defense, much like total offense, is a meaningless stat without context, as it has nothing to do with points scored. Especially when compiled against college football juggernauts such as Towson, North Texas, Idaho, Washington and Auburn (2012 version).

How many points does LSU get for allowing the third fewest yards against their murderers row of a schedule? At least Alabama doesn't give up points to their laughable schedule.

Scoring defense is a more meaningful stat, with ND #2 (8.93 pts/game) and LSU nearly a touchdown worse at #10 (14.63 pts/game), against LSU's decidedly weaker schedule.


Well, for starters you conveniently left out the fact that LSU held A&Ms offense to only 19 points (we averaged 48 ppg up until that point) on the road.

And its not like ND has played any offensive juggernauts either. Navy, Mich, Mich St, Purdue, Stanford, BYU, Miami... which of those is good on offense??

Your schedule looked really good on paper to begin the year, but it looks like shite now. You really haven't played anyone that great.

Navy - shite
Purdue - meh
Mich St - high early season rank, but not a good team
Michigan - borderline top 25 team
Miami - shite
Stanford - solid team, but not great
BYU - meh

Notre Dame's schedule did look hard during the offseason but has really fallen off.
LSU played @Florida, South car, & @ #18 Tex A&m. Notre dame hasn't played a harder schedule than that.
