Message: [QUOTE="'72 Orange, post: 1145177, member: 400"] As difficult a time we have with executing certain plays, my perception 1s that our lack of discipline (offensive penalties) have made the task of converting on 3rd down more difficult that it should be. Of the three 3rd downs we converted last night the average distance to make was 3 yds. On the 12 we did not convert the average distance was 8.4 yds. Three of our offensive penalties came on 3rd downs. The first was a 5 yarder taking us out of a "makeable" 3rd and 2 out to a 3 & 7 The second was a 15 yarder pushing us from 3 & 9 out to 3 & 24 The third penalty was another 5 yarder pushing us from 3rd & 10 to 3rd & 15. While these penalties made the job of converting on 3rd down harder, based on the way we were playing if the last two 3rd down penalties were not called we were not going to convert on either one in any event! :( [/QUOTE]
