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.)
I ... am actually a little confused about how Pitt won this game. Not going to lie. Syracuse won the yardage battle and the turnover battle, and their average starting field position (not listed below) was better. But while Pitt scored on all three of its trips inside Syracuse's 40 (two touchdowns and a field goal), Syracuse made five trips, missed a field goal, turned the ball over on downs, and had a PAT blocked.
Well, I guess that's how Pitt won, huh?
