Whew! What an awful game to watch. But I’ll gladly take the win in a close game. The box score is remarkably close across most categories, with a few notable exceptions:
- Yards per rush (but including Sacks). Both teams were terrible, Bama especially so
- Yards per pass (and pass attempts). Milroe made them pay, but not in the way we expected
- Penalties. Nearly the source of a Bama loss.
- Turnovers. But, yep, there’s likely the win right there.
Let’s get into the advanced metrics, though, to see more intrigue.
