Graphing the Tide vs. Texas A&M: The better team won, but they weren’t “good”

Related Topics: Texas A&M University, Tide

We’re gonna look at all of the graphs for this one again, especially given how close and wacky the game was. After mediocre play and bad break after bad break, The Tide defense pulled this one off at the last second on their own 2 yard line. And yet, the stats look like a modest (but solid) win from a mediocre offense.

Team Success Rates over time (cumulative)

I actually thought we’d see a better split here for the Tide offense vs. the Aggies: while QB Jalen Milroe and co. weren’t looking particularly good, they were moving the ball quite well at times and were much less reliant on boom-or-bust breaks than Texas A&M was.
