Whew. That was a wild one to watch. The box score belies the “shootout” (at least as much as you tend to get that in the SEC), and suggests (rightfully, to me) that it was closer than what the score suggets. Alabama won out in the topline metrics you want — score, total yards, and 1st downs — while tied or lagged in others.
The biggest out-of-context oddities, to me, were the gap in tackles (29 to 39 for a huge ~33% difference), 1st downs, and Time of Possession. I think the gaps are not entirely positive .
