The Lab’s result test

Arizona Wildcats won by 27 points. Q3 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +14-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.

Cincinnati Bearcats produced 227 total yards; Arizona Wildcats produced 522. Yardage describes how much ground was gained, not whether the most valuable drives were finished.

Arizona Wildcats committed 1 giveaways against the opponent’s 0. The winner still had to overcome a worse giveaway count.

The next test is repeatability. Separate staying on schedule from long gains, then examine field position and drive finishing. A large yardage total can coexist with missed scoring chances; a short field can make a modest drive valuable.
