Interesting to see 3rd down conversion rates per year under CNS.

With the exception of 09, I think we have been a pretty good 3rd down team. I believe that 40-43% is considered pretty good when converting 3rd downs. This year, I believe that the ability for our QB to avoid sacks and make plays with his feet has kept the yards needed more attainable.

What I'd love to see is what percentage of those 3rd down conversions were pass and run.

What I'd love to see is what percentage of those 3rd down conversions were pass and run.

87 of the attempts were passing situations, 64 of those converted, 73.6%.

Oh, how weak was the east this year? On third downs we converted 75% against UF, 73.3 against UT, and 69.2 against Mizzou.
