6th in fewest defensive plays, 2nd most offensive plays

[Millhouse]

I know pick 6s affect this but it's crazy that we have 79 plays per game on offense and 58 on defense

We give up 6 per play and gain 5.6

It'll like we get two extra long possessions per game

3rd down conversions

Big part of that

We are 63% throwing on third down. 7.6 ypa. 7 td, 7 int. 136 rating

Opponents 43% 4.3 ypa 2 td 1 int 88 rating

Our 4th down performance should be above average, per the eye test. Any stats on that?

Success on 4th sustains drives and increases the averages.

We are 10th nationally at 73.68%

We have done a great job of not having 3rd and 6+ yards to go. Makes a huge difference.

It also feels like we're doing a better job not giving up the 3rd and real longs, like 10+ yards, for first downs. For years, It'd seem like we have teams right where we want them on 3rd and either give up a ridiculous play or pick up a personal foul for first down. I could be wrong, but it feels better this year.
