Advanced Analysis

Compare this game with a measured season average and the typical range.

The Comparison Sample

2026 FBS vs. FBS games started before September 19 at 11:00 PM EDT. 155 of 155 eligible games have both offenses available. Each team-game counts equally; both offenses need at least 20 included plays.
