OK, Quint, which is it?

I enjoy listening to Quint Kessenich and think he does a good job, but he's talking out of both sides of his mouth a bit this week about Notre Dame. Here is what he said today about Notre Dame's defense and goalkeeping:

The Irish have the nation’s stingiest defense, allowing 6.13 goals against per game. They pack it in defensively, protecting the middle of the field. Scott Rodgers fills up the net, his goals against average is a measly 6.08 and he has made 66% of the saves. Maryland will get their 10-12-yard step-down shots and must rip the corners if they’re going to advance.

But in this podcast on Wednesday, he said:

"Notre Dame's numbers are so off-base because of the quality of the schedule they played. Their goalie, Scott Rodgers, saved 66%, allows 6.08 goals a game. Let me tell you, if I played against that schedule, I'd like to think that I would be higher than 66%, no offense to Scott. I'm not sure that this Notre Dame team's legit."

If the numbers are without value, Quint, why are you citing them to show how good Notre Dame's defense is? Of course, if I had to guess, Quint is being more honest when he is speaking off the cuff on a podcast than when he is writing in a blog.
