Inside the Numbers: Advanced stats for Texas A&M-Alabama

Efficiency

• Defined as getting 50 percent of necessary yards to gain on first down, 70 percent on second down and 100 percent on third and fourth down (moving the sticks).

• Defensively, this would be the percentage of plays you allow that to happen — so a lower number is better on defense.

Offensive efficiency vs. Alabama: 34.8 (Average team: ~42; A&M 2014: 46.4)
  • 48.0 and up = A-level (top 10-15 nationally)

Breakdown by quarter:
1st: 26.
