ND's running a big deficit to these teams. In the avg. 6, 5, and 4 year hauls, ND's run at least a 2.13 man deficit in comparison. Not sure what it means. Statistically, I can't really argue here that it proves anything, but my hunch that you can't hid a numbers deficit with the 3-4 feels emboldened.
