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.)

The projected point margins rarely work out as well as the one below did. Auburn gained what would typically amount to about 35.6 points and, due in part to turnovers, was projected to win by about 18.6 points. I'll take that.

Red flag: A 44 percent success rate on passing downs is too much to allow to Arkansas.

In no way red flag: Auburn barely faced any passing downs itself because wow, was the running game clicking.
