[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 77286, member: 322"] DCS, I think we are good at avoiding 3rd downs. We had 84th most (39th ) fewest. (But this isn't adjusted for total # of plays) Alabama had the fewest so I agree it is far better to get a first down on first or second that have to go to third. [url]http://www.cfbstats.com/2013/leader/national/team/offense/split01/category25/sort02.html[/url] When we did get to 3rd down, it was as you pointed out it often 3rd and long. For Danny, as far as our conversion rate, I looked at 3rd and long for all teams a few months ago and posted some stats. As I recall, all teams were pretty bad at 3rd and 7+. Makes sense since the team gained less than 3 yards on the first two attempts. Plus everyone passes the vast majority of the time on third and long. So the D's can sell out to stop the pass ..... I've wanted to understand 3rd down more since there are a bunch of interrelated parts and I'll try and post on that in the next week or two. [/QUOTE]
