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. LSU: 30.6 (Average team: ~42; A&M entering game: 44.4)

Breakdown by quarter:
1st: 30.8
2nd: 37.5
3rd: 29.4
4th: 25.
