ND stats are maybe misleading when comparing them to those of the #1 Crimson Tide defense. In 6 wins, ND has had 2 blowouts. They had a chance to play reserves but IDK that they took advantage of it. But the other 4 games were tight including one win in OT. Their 1s were on the field most of these games, where half the points (also red zone defense %) were scored after the Tide had games well under control. JMHO

Points against-- BAMA 7.5  ND 8.7
Yards allowed-- BAMA 1087  ND 1722
Turnover Margin--- BAMA +18 ND +15
