Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 1883575, member: 5685"] We lead the nation in 3rd down attempts which usually is a bad thing but we are 38th in the nation in 3rd down conversion percentage. So while we aren't doing much on 1st or 2nd down, we are getting into makable 3rd down situations. I know our strategy isn't to "white knuckle it" but ironically that has been the way the results have played out thus far. Short gains on 1st and 2nd down leading to long drives. We need to be more productive on 1st down and try to avoid these 3rd downs entirely. But if we are going to face a 3rd down, it is good to know that we can convert them now. [/QUOTE]
