When trying to sift through the rubble of this weekend, it's hard not to notice what specifically went wrong.

Our biggest strengths this season, and the main reason we were able to hang in so long against Clemson, was the field position battle. We've had absurd numbers all season on average starting position as well as as opponent starting position. We were also one of the top teams in the country in turnover margin.

The issue with being so great in those two stats is that largely, they tend to even out across a season, and they're unsustainable, especially against teams that take care of the football as well as Notre Dame did.

When you don't get turnover/field position luck, you have to compensate with above average offense or defense. Unfortunately, only the defense showed up, and they were gassed because the offense couldn't stay on the field. It will be interesting to see how we adjust to this moving forward. BC should be a good indication.
