Need to improve 3rd down conversions

[VTHawk]

I did not watch the game but looking at the stats, 3rd down conversions really stick out. We were 2 of 13 on 3rd down conversions. So this is obvious so I am going to walk myself out now.

I would normally agree, but many of those 3rd downs were because we were backed up near our own goal line and the playbook is fairly limited in those situations.

That’s not to say that we shouldn’t have been better in other 3rd down situations, but it wasn’t as bad as the stats indicated...

It wasn't great but the stat line is a bit misleading. 3 of them with the backups and 2nd and 3rd string in. A couple of that were 3rd and long, and a couple playing conservative from the shadow of our goal line.

And it proved we have a good punter.

Still, need to be better on 3rd and medium.

In my opinion a couple more of those third down lays should have been called for PAss Interference. They got some called but there were a couple that I thought were just as bad or worse. I still would like BF to call more rollouts on 3rd down where Stanley can either pass or run. I also do not remember any TE catches

If Iowa continues to build up their WRs they're gonna be just fine. I'm more worried about the running game than 3rd downs.
