Now flip it to the other side of the ball.

Which defenses are forcing long 3rd downs, and which are actually getting stops?

Here’s the same view for defenses: average 3rd down distance to go allowed vs. 3rd down conversion rates allowed.

3rd downs are where games are won and lost. 📊

Here’s a look at how offenses are performing so far: plotting average distance to go on 3rd down vs. 3rd down conversion success rates.

IU, USC, Utah, and Mizzou have been the best at both staying ahead of schedule and converting.
