Miami was 96th in the country on 3rd down conversions on offense. Says a ton.
.....and VT's offense was 113th but still finished with a top-5 D.
Our defense was 90th at stopping opponents on 3rd down but theirs was 3rd....that's the difference- We couldn't get off the field because our D sucked.
I'm certainly not saying or suggesting that a team's ability to convert third downs on offense is the only reason a defense is bad. However, it's a contributing factor. Want to know another one? Time of possession. Want to know where VT finished? 8th nationally. You hold the ball , the other team runs less plays, they have less of a chance of putting up yards/points. That simple. Miami? Yeah…120 of 125.
lulz.
Sooo VT was #8 in Time of Possession but their offense was:
#106 in first downs
#113 in 3rd down conversions
#110 in rushing offense
#102 in total offense
With those pathetic numbers, how did they manage to be #8 in time of possession? Their #4 ranked defense gave their offense more opportunities with the football
Ditto for UF-@gz #115 offense which was #3 in time of possession...
