[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 77105, member: 1640"] I hear you but defenders of the offense usually come back with two points. First, all teams have trouble with 3rd and long and the average percentage of success nationally is really, really low. Second, Tech has actually led the nation in third down conversion at various times over the last few years. The implication of that second point is would you rather have a team that is very successful converting on 3rd downs in general or would you rather be like other teams who are far less successful on 3rd downs overall but might have a percentage point or two greater effectiveness on third and 20? It is an interesting question to me because it contrasts our emotional response to the occasional 3rd and long that we do not seem to do well with and our rational response which figures that in terms of winning a game it is better to be converting 3rd downs in general at a much higher rate.
