3rd Down.....

If I could pinpoint the biggest problem on defense against SMU and CAL it's the defense on 3rd down.

Opponent Third Down Conversion Rate

2018 - Ranked 31st (35.71%)

2019 - Ranked 83rd (43.33%) 

Obviously this HAS to improve and did in the second half against CAL. Besides the poor pass coverage against SMU the other issue is missed open field tackles on 3rd down as well.  We had a few missed last week that were HUGE!

Thoughts?

third down conversion rate is such a broad topic, it could be a ton of things.

down and distance being one. Are we playing well enough to hold them to 3rd and long situations, or are we making 3rd downs easy for them and less than 3 yards?

also, without looking at stats, it’s the opposite for our offense.i seem to recall a ton of shit 1st  and 2nd down plays, putting ourselves in third in long scenarios. Can’t sustain drives that way. Can’t give the defense rest that way. Can’t win games that way.
