The Five Factors are pretty standard these days: they are the five things (four of which you can control) that contribute the most to who wins the game.
Explosiveness, efficiency, field position, finishing drives, and turnovers.
Explosiveness has been the Florida State Seminoles’ domain recently, what they were known for last year with the nation’s most explosive offense and a defense that gave up the nation’s fewest explosive plays for most of the season. But on Saturday against the Boston College Eagles that world was flipped upside down. The Eagles had a whopping 13 explosive plays (99th percentile in the country last week), more than one every six plays, while FSU had just three total.
