Notre Dame Offense Counting on Being Lucky Rather than Good

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish are currently ranked 8th in the AP poll. They had a 10-3 season last year, but went 1-3 against quality opponents. They won their bowl game against LSU which isn’t really a litmus test for how good a team will be the following year.

This year, their offense returns 6 starters including starting QB Brandon Wimbush. However, Wimbush finished last year on the bench while back up Ian Brook led the Irish over LSU.

After two games, Notre Dame’s S&P+ ranking is 17, but their offensive ranking is 77 (sad!). They have 716 yards of total offense (just over 5 yards per play), six touchdowns, four interceptions, and no fumbles.
