* A scoring opportunity occurs when an offense gets a first down inside the opponent's 40 (or scores from outside the 40). ** Leverage Rate = Standard Downs / (Standard Downs + Passing Downs) *** When using IsoPPP, the S&P formula is (0.8*Success Rate) + (0.2*IsoPPP) |

Basically, this tells us about what we should have expected: turnovers and blown scoring opportunities ruined the evening for Kansas State. There was a little bit of luck/randomness involved -- based on passes defensed and fumbles, one would have assumed closer to an even turnover margin than Auburn +2; and then there's the whole "missed a 22-yard field goal" thing -- but as I wrote for SB Nation last week, Auburn also had fewer execution errors, and that isn't luck.
