An explainer on the Five Factors, from SB Nation’s Bill Connelly, is here. If you’re wondering why there are discrepancies between this and the official box score, for one thing, I’m counting sacks as passing attempts (where the official scorebook counts them as rushing attempts, but they’re really not.) And I also factor out kneeldowns: Vanderbilt “officially” had 367 yards of total offense but I’ve got them with 368 yards because they lost a yard in the victory formation at the end of the game. But that’s not really an attempt to gain yards, so I’m not counting it.
Vanderbilt 28, Middle Tennessee 6: Kyle Shurmur’s good enough
