The Lab’s result test
Kansas Jayhawks won by 55 points. Q4 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +21-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.
Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders produced 136 total yards; Kansas Jayhawks produced 706. Yardage describes how much ground was gained, not whether the most valuable drives were finished.
