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

That Kyler Murray added a new dimension to the Texas A&M offense was obvious, but a closer look at the number reveals just how drastically the Aggies improved in several areas against South Carolina. The defense, meanwhile, looked the same on paper as on the field.

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. South Carolina: 58.2 (Average team: ~42; A&M 2014: 46.4)
  • 48.0 and up = A-level (top 10-15 nationally)

Breakdown by quarter:
1st: 59.1
2nd: 57.7
3rd: 53.8
4th: 61.
