What stat matters most in college football? Keep an eye on explosive play margin

In the past, football enthusiasts used to refer to big plays or long plays as “explosive plays” or simply “explosives.” The terminology shift may have coincided with the trend of calling position groups “rooms.” The definition of an explosive play varies among football experts, with some considering 15-yard runs and 20-yard passes, while others have different criteria.

Georgia coach Kirby Smart noted that people tend to interpret explosive plays in a way that benefits them. However, there is a growing consensus that the explosive play margin, indicating which team has more explosive plays in a game, is a significant factor in determining the outcome. This trend is particularly relevant in the current era of high-scoring games and increased passing.

An example of the importance of explosive play margin was seen in Georgia’s victory over Kentucky. Despite being outgained in yards, Georgia secured the win by capitalizing on five explosive plays in the second half, compared to Kentucky’s one. This demonstrates how a strong defense and effective use of explosive plays can impact the game.

In the 2024 season so far, teams that have won the explosive play margin in SEC games have a remarkable 32-2 record. Arkansas’ loss to Oklahoma State despite a positive explosive play margin highlights the impact of penalties and turnovers on game outcomes. The data also shows that teams with a higher explosive play margin tend to have a better chance of winning.

Looking back at recent seasons, SEC teams with more explosive plays than their opponents boasted an impressive record of 397-72 between 2019-23. The margin of explosive plays directly correlated with the likelihood of winning, reinforcing the significance of this statistic in determining game outcomes.

While traditional factors like turnover margin and field position remain relevant, the emphasis on explosive play margin has become increasingly prominent in modern football. In an era characterized by high-scoring games and quick strikes, the ability to generate explosive plays can be a game-changer. Ultimately, it is not defense but explosive play margin that may hold the key to championship success in today’s football landscape.
