Over under 42.7 points per game, and he's referring to a regular season game plus the first round of the playoffs for another day.

0:30.8

I'm going to go under.

0:32.9

I think 42.7 is a pretty big jump.

0:36.2

It's possible.

0:37.8

Tommy, it's definitely possible.

0:39.6

But I'm just going to go under because, I mean, they could be at 42 and a half and

0:43.0

that's a heck of a year and it's still under.

0:46.1

I mean, you're basically being like they're going to average 43 points a game.

0:49.9

And I mean, look at scoring offenses last year.

0:52.9

There was one team that did that last year, and that was Miami.

0:57.3

So I just, I think they're going to be, and there was only two teams that year before.

Now, part of that, again, is the playoffs. I understand that. But if you look at this team last year and you kind of look at where they were the first five games, and then compare where they were like the last.

1:46.7

So if you're going to go the 12 plus one, so you count the first round of playoffs,

1:52.9

last year in the first five games, Notre Dame was at, let's see here,

1:59.5

32.4 points per game. I believe that's correct. 162 divided by 5. Yeah, 32.4.

2:07.6

And that was with a game in which they scored 66 points because they were 23 in the opener, 14, 28, 31. And the last eight games, they were at 42.9.
