Finally we got a “cupcake game” that Tide fans can feel good about: plenty of points, beat the spread, outright dominance on the scoreboard and in these charts. Let’s peruse.
Success Rate (SR) and Explosive Rate (XR) by Team
Ahhhh the two Alabama bars — Success Rate and Explosiveness Rate — are both better than the two that Southern Miss put up. That’s right, Alabama’s explosiveness rate was better than the opponent’s success rate. That’s the kind of performance we like to see in a cupcake game, not the notable efficiency comeback that the Mercer bears put up a few weeks ago.
