This is the whole point of doing this. (to find the misleading scores) Ole Miss was fortunate to score that many points with very little offensive production. A&M would "project" better based on yards gained and taking away the turnover advantage they gave Ole Miss.
The point is Ole Miss wasn't as dominant as the final score indicated. I use this information and factor it in when I select the games. It's not the sole reason for a play but it sure helps.
The only thing misleading about the score is the 13 points in garbage time that A&M scored. Score was 35-7 when Mississippi started preparing for their next opponent. Yards per pass play - Ole Miss 9.4 vs A&M 7.6. Yards per running play Ole Miss 4.6 vs A&M 1.5. Only reason A&M outgained them was because Ole Miss D was dominant and garbage time. I don't know how you would properly account for this, but it seems that every yard of offense is not equal. Offensive efficiency should mean something as well.
I think the idea of total yards comparison is good, but certain games may fall into this category that probably don't belong there.
