ND 2020 was ranked 102 in Red Zone Offense. Do you expect significant improvement?NT Aragoto 12:17pm · 4/14/21
- I would love to look at a breakdown of every RZ play the "O" had in 2020.............. ELP 1:46pm · 4/16/21
  - Yes, several times at end of games where we just quit trying to score by taking knee, etc.NT THEISMANCARR 5:35pm · 4/16/21
- Red Zone scoring has been an ND problem as long as Kelly abalamma 10:39am · 4/15/21
  - Not trying to be a dick, but every sentence in your post is just wrong Irish_Demon 1:55pm · 4/15/21
    - I don't think there were many times last year where we were repeatedly stuffed at the goal line. NDavenue 2:14pm · 4/15/21
      - I agree, but their red zone conversion was not great. That was the original post Irish_Demon 2:50pm · 4/15/21
        
        One of the problems is once you get inside the 10 the field shrinks, the defense sells out more and THEISMANCARR 8:00pm · 4/15/21
        
        To that point, ND was #8 nationally in 3rd down conversions last year. Napoleon 3:04pm · 4/15/21
        
        That's true, but there's a reason why red zone efficiency is emphasized. Irish_Demon 4:16pm · 4/15/21
        
        I think your narrative is probably accurate. But I think the stat is misleading.Link Napoleon 6:14pm · 4/15/21
        
        You're right. On its own, the stat is misleading. When TD pct is added then it becomes more telling. Irish_Demon 7:38pm · 4/15/21
        
        When I get some free time, I’m going to dig into that.NT Napoleon 7:44pm · 4/15/21
  - My eyes rolled so hard reading this it was blinding Turkish 12:33pm · 4/15/21
- This is the one glaring area where we missed Chip Long. He had much better design and creativity in oldirish 8:44am · 4/15/21
- Yes, I think Kelly and Rees realize they must be better and I think the talent is there.NT tky21 9:35pm · 4/14/21
- New OL not as good this yr, new QB vs 5th yr vet last yr....Magic 8 Ball says,"Very doubtful" BaronVonZemo 8:48pm · 4/14/21
  - QB won't be the problem ndunabomber 8:57am · 4/15/21
- Ohio State was #100 and Georgia was #97 . . . for context.NT Napoleon 5:47pm · 4/14/21
  - and Oklahoma #3, Alabama #6, and Clemson #38 for further context.NTLink BaronVonZemo 8:52pm · 4/14/21
    - The more context the better. The stats I saw had OU #13 and Bama #8.Link Napoleon 9:00pm · 4/14/21
- YesNT CC72 5:38pm · 4/14/21
- Who’s to blame! Rees, Kelly or the lack of talent ( big RB ) to get it across the line?NT whatsamataU 3:35pm · 4/14/21
  - Failure to execute, regardless of talent blah blah blah. You don't execute you don't score EOS.NT Jerseymick 8:58am · 4/15/21
  - Creativity in playcalling and design. We saw classic predictable / bland, Kelly style in 2020.NT oldirish 8:46am · 4/15/21
  - RB was not the reason for poor RZ scoring. I don't recall our RBs not being able to punch it in. NDavenue 6:31am · 4/15/21
    - Kyren Williams seemed fabulous to me on punching the ball in the end zone. I was very confident. THEISMANCARR 1:28am · 4/16/21
  - Kelly is responsible for the talent holesNT holybull101 9:56pm · 4/14/21
- Yes, more talent on offense skill positions will lead to a much higher red zone ranking.NT michiganirish 2:54pm · 4/14/21
- 2019 - #10, 2018 - #44, 2017 - #14, 2016 - #72, 2015 - #88. Red Zone ups and downs.NT ELP 2:27pm · 4/14/21
- Yes. I seem to recall we were very good the years before that. NDavenue 12:30pm · 4/14/21
  - You are correctNT CC72 5:39pm · 4/14/21
  - Book bailed us out of a few jams. Aragoto 1:20pm · 4/14/21
