The Lab’s result test
UTSA Roadrunners won by 2 points. Q2 supplied the largest scoring swing in the winner’s favor, a +10-points period. The chart shows the result’s path; the box score helps explain what created it.
UTSA Roadrunners produced 314 total yards; Rice Owls produced 232. Yardage describes how much ground was gained, not whether the most valuable drives were finished.
UTSA Roadrunners committed 2 giveaways against the opponent’s 1. 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.
