Fun Fact - Notre Dame Takes Care of the Ball, and it's Opponent's Ball Too?

Notre Dame leads the nation in both having the least number of turnovers and is last in the nation in forcing turnovers.

Unsurprisingly, the Fighting Irish also get to the line relatively infrequently(3rd to last in the nation) and send opponents very few times as well(11th). Just one example of how an aggressive defensive style is oftentimes correlated with fouls(strips that are sometimes reach-in's, etc.). A quick glance at TO% leaders confirms this with a few exceptions.
