Onehas to go back to the L.C.I Rams team of 1990, which only allowed a single point against all year, to find the kind of defensive dominance Notre Dame showed in 2012. After giving up apaltry 10 points in 11 games in the Calgary Division 1 leagueplay and playoffs they blasted into Provincials, winning bothgames handily. Their offense wasn’t too bad either averaging 45points per game, all against Top-10 teams, during their playoffand Provincial run culminating in a 37-8 win over Spruce Grovein the Alberta Bowl.
