The Lab’s result test
Indiana Hoosiers won by 32 points. Q2 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +13-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.
Indiana Hoosiers produced 593 total yards; Rutgers Scarlet Knights produced 254. Yardage describes how much ground was gained, not whether the most valuable drives were finished.
Indiana Hoosiers committed 0 giveaways against the opponent’s 0. The giveaway counts were level, so that total alone does not separate these teams.
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.
