Look again. The drive against Arkansas produced a touchdown. And it's ludicrous to suggest that an 11 yard gain on first down, followed by a 7 yard gain on first down caused a drive to stall. 2nd and 3 is exactly the kind of result you want on 1st down. Maybe it was the play called on 2nd and 3.

Bottom line...the only thing you have to base your opinion on is, well, just your opinion. Stats don't lie.

Stats “lie” all the time - there are myriad books written on the subject.

“Stats” are meaningless without context and a sophisticated enough understanding to perform proper analysis.

There is an adage in the data science world - “anyone who is competent enough to interpret data is competent enough to mislead with it”

For example, according to the stats Jalen has a higher completion percentage than Tua this year - does anyone think that Jalen is a more accurate passer than Tua?
