Statistical advantages
Texas has the higher observed scoring average: Texas scores 31.4 points per game and Texas A&M scores 27.5, a 3.9-point difference. These are unadjusted season averages, not an estimate of this game's winning margin.
Texas allows 16.0 points per game, compared with 20.0 for Texas A&M. Texas has the stronger defensive scoring figure by 4.0 points per game. Opponent quality and game situations can affect this comparison; a better raw rank is not proof of a better adjusted defense.
Texas's offense produces 379.2 yards per game; Texas A&M's defense has conceded 327.2. The 52.0-yard difference compares two observed averages rather than predicting a yardage total. Texas averages 5.43 yards per play, which puts it #103 among 138 covered teams.
