Following each game, I’ll be posting numbers that tell a broader story than what a traditional box score may offer. Looking at Bill C.’s stat profiles is a great way to quickly identify a team’s strengths and weaknesses once you become familiar with the metrics. If you’re curious, here’s a glossary with detailed definitions, but I’ll include some of the more pertinent stuff here.

Everything below excludes garbage time, which kicked in after A.J. Brown’s touchdown reception in the 4th quarter.

Five Factors

Category Ole Miss Texas Tech
Category Ole Miss Texas Tech
Efficiency (Success Rate) 48.1% 41.8%
Big Plays 7 3
Average Starting Field Position 32.5 28.1
Finishing Drives (Points per Scoring Opportunity) 6.2 5.4
Turnovers 1 0
A play is successful if you gain 50 percent of necessary yardage on first down, 70 percent on second down, and 100 percent on third and fourth down. Big plays are gains of 20+ yards. A scoring opportunity is a trip inside the opponent’s 40-yard line.
