That dreaded 3rd down number

Last week, the Greek Tragedy reported our 3rd down defense was deplorable. Opponents converted 50 percent (31-of-62). It was better against Tulane. The Green Wave was 5-of-15. That shaves the percentage to a tick below 47 percent.

Obviously, this number needs to keep declining.

I think Tulane was perfect on 3rd down conversions of over 15 yards.

The only number I care about is the final score, and that has been looking good the last few weeks ;)
