3rd Down Inefficiencies. Alarming. Breakdown of Each Hame

[Stats02]

I know there have been several posts regarding how bad our offense is on converting 3rd downs. Just read a post on where we stand statistically with Enos as our OC. I knew we sucked on 3rd down as we have for years, but 130th is just sickening.

Here is breakdown per game. Included our opponents 3rd down conversion rate also.


GAME 1: UF: 2-10, MIAMI: 2-14

GAME 2: UNC: 2-10, MIAMI: 3-11

GAME 3: BC (Bethune): 3-15, MIAMI: 4-9

GAME 4: Central MICH: 6-18, MIAMI: 1-10

GAME 5: VT: 9-16, MIAMI: 7-15

GAME 6: UVA: 10-19, MIAMI: 2-10

GAME 7: GT: 6-14, MIAMI: 5-13

GAME 8: PITT: 9-20, MIAMI: 2-14

GAME 9: FSU: 5-17, MIAMI: 3-15

GAME 10: Louisville: 5-14, MIAMI: 5-10

GAME 11: FIU: 6-14, MIAMI: 1-10

We Minus Louisville and VT, we are absolutely abysmal on converting 3rd downs. Our defense has regressed stopping the opposition on 3rd down. Seems like we do a better job stopping them on 3rd and short than on 3rd and long. And our offense can’t convert on 3rd and short to save their lives.

Does everyone agree this is arguably the most important stat in evaluating a OC

We’ve been talking about 3rd down inefficiencies for about 15 years now. ******* end me already.
