[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 164145, member: 2175"] It does not fall under "improvements" but is worth some thought. GT led the country last season in third down conversions. While I'm sure many of those, had they failed, would have gone on to a 4th down try, it's hard to overestimate that stat's importance, at least to me. Add in the 4th down -- particularly in FSU and MSU games, when we made first down by mere inches a couple of times -- and that conversion record is really important. The whole season could swing on making those plays. And where the old heads like Charles Perkins or Andrews knew they had to get square to the LOS and go for the down marker, I wonder how long it will take the younger ones to grasp that, that the "big play" there is a first down, and not a gamble for the big gain. So in this case, my vote is for maintaining what we did. [/QUOTE]
