I don’t think anyone with three brain cells would agree that what we saw last night was a national championship-level of offense. Added with the ND data point (their defense stinks), our offense is probably a top 30 ish unit. Maybe a little lower.
But this defense? Absolute lights out and arguably the best DL in college football. They’ll keep us in every game, bare minimum.
That combo, provided we can get some more consistent downfield passing + push in the run game, should be enough to make the playoffs. From there, it’s anyone’s game.
