Efficiency

• Defined as getting 50 percent of necessary yards to gain on first down, 70 percent on second down and 100 percent on third and fourth down (moving the sticks).

• Defensively, this would be the percentage of plays you allow that to happen — so a lower number is better on defense.

Offensive efficiency vs. Mississippi State: 49.4 (Average team: ~42; A&M 2014: 46.4)
  • 48.0 and up = A-level (top 10-15 nationally)

1st: 85
2nd: 38.5
3rd: 41.
