SU had less than 100 yds rushing on offense and 1 sack.
That's why they lost. ND neutralized SU's two strengths.
The one plus side TO they turned directly into points. The other ones kept them in game, they kept ND from scoring and that is capitalizing on the turnover. Getting the ball 80 yds from the endzone, why expect that to turn into points.
The biggest macro issue is scoring and efficiency. 113th in yards needed per point, 106th on 3rd down, 95th in passing efficiency. Ranked 50th in total offense, 25th in rushing.
The ingredients are there to be decent. The offense is better than last year from what they are capable of, now it's on McDonald and Lester to makes some tweaks to get the productivity there. They can move the ball and they are hitting on explosive plays they couldn't dream of last year, now they have got to dial in on what they can do to keep drives going and put points on the board.
Friday is huge. Lville is struggling on offense. 3rd on defense, but that includes playing two pretty bad offenses and Murray St.
Get through Clemson 4-4 and you have four peer games to close the season.
