Confused? Visit the Advanced Stats glossary here. Or just skip to the words. I won't be offended. (Okay, I'll only be a little offended.)

Prototypical jetlag game, right? Home team jumps on visiting favorite early (BC gained 160 to FSU's 52 early in the game and went up 17-3), visiting favorite rebounds (FSU outgains BC, 437-217, the rest of the way and coasts). Early success aside, BC couldn't stay ahead of schedule very well at all and fell into too many passing downs. And you're just not going to beat FSU if you're constantly in second- or third-and-long.
