A ”successful” play, as defined by Football Outsiders, is when a play gains enough yardage to keep the offense on track, i.e., 50% of needed yardage on 1st down, 70% on 2nd, or 100% on 3rd/4th. A ”big play” (aka “explosive play”) is any play that gains ≥15 yards (run OR pass).
Success by Quarters
Great win, Roll Tide, all that... but I’m surprised at how well Texas A&M shows up here! That 39% overall SR is near-NCAA-average, and is the the highest the Tide has given up this season so far.
