The Lab’s result test
UAB Blazers won by 19 points. Q4 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +17-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.
Samford Bulldogs produced 230 total yards; UAB Blazers produced 400. Yardage describes how much ground was gained, not whether the most valuable drives were finished.
UAB Blazers committed 2 giveaways against the opponent’s 3. That possession advantage gave the winner fewer mistakes to overcome.
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.
