Statistical advantages
Miami has the higher observed scoring average: Boston College scores 19.0 points per game and Miami scores 49.6, a 30.6-point difference. These are unadjusted season averages, not an estimate of this game's winning margin.
Boston College allows 23.4 points per game, compared with 9.8 for Miami. Miami has the stronger defensive scoring figure by 13.6 points per game. Opponent quality and game situations can affect this comparison; a better raw rank is not proof of a better adjusted defense.
Boston College's offense produces 346.4 yards per game; Miami's defense has conceded 249.6. The 96.8-yard difference compares two observed averages rather than predicting a yardage total. Boston College averages 5.41 yards per play, which puts it #106 among 138 covered teams.
