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. Western Carolina: 53.1 (Average team: ~42; A&M 2014: 46.4)

48.0 and up = A-level (top 10-15 nationally)

Breakdown by quarter:
1st: 52.2
2nd: 52.0
3rd: 53.
