[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 27683, member: 1045"] This Tech fan apparently did something like that in 2012, comparing 3rd down conversion percentages based on distance in BCS v. BCS games, for every team: [url]http://www.footballstudyhall.com/2013/5/7/4303984/college-football-third-down-percentages[/url] Man, that seems like a lot of work! There is just such a small amount of data on Tech that it is hard to derive much. Without looking at the number of attempts per distance, we look to be about average (in fact, I quickly fitted a curve to the GT data and it basically overlaps with the national average across the 1-20 range). However, given that we have a disproportionately high number of short yardage 3rd down attempts, we ended up above average in total 3rd down conversion %. Details below. (Of note, 2012 was a terrible year to single out GT data. In 2011, we finished 2nd in the country in 3rd down conversion at 54% and in 2013 we finished 4th at 51%. However, in 2012, we finished 31st with only 46%.) [Edit to say stupid table formatting!
