00:03 And so Notre Dame is gonna have to be able to account for

00:06 those yards in the scramble game.

00:08 He didn't have any scramble yards against UConn.

00:11 He only had 10 against Lafayette in the sloppy day to score to pro football folks.

00:15 He had 41 scramble yards against Clemson, and

00:19 he had 76 scramble yards against Northwestern.

00:23 And that's the danger there.

00:25 So you add that to the aspect of the pass game.

00:28 Those are more passing yards, which is that's where the danger comes from.

00:32 Now they account for rushing yards, which is why I'm looking here.

00:35 So Duke averages 200 yards per game.

00:38 They're 15th in college football in yards per attempt at 5.7.

00:42 That's a really good number.

00:45 But a big part of that, as we talked about, is the success of Riley Leonard.

00:48 Riley Leonard right now is averaging 8.2 yards per carry.

00:51 Now their other backs are still good too.

00:53 Jordan Waters is averaging 6.6.

00:55 And Jacquez Moore is averaging 5.3.

00:59 Jordan Waters is coming off of a game against Clemson where he had 63 yards and

01:04 11 carries.

01:05 He went for 65 yards on 10 carries against Northwestern.

01:08 He only had 18 on 7 carries against UConn, but

01:12 he had been pretty good up until then.

01:15 Jacquez Moore went for 43 yards on 8 carries against Clemson.

01:19 So your two backs ran for 106 yards on 19 carries against Clemson.

01:23 That's a good day of work when you're talking about what your quarterback also

01:27 brings to the table.
