Third Down Conversions

Did you know FSU only faced three third downs in its first 18 plays on offense, and they converted two of those opportunities to score 10 points?

FSU’s offense went 6 of 17 on the night against Georgia Tech. Here’s a breakdown of each:

  • 3rd and 3-Converted
  • 3rd and 8-Converted**
  • 3rd and 8-No conversion
  • 3rd and 8-No conversion
  • 3rd and 16-No conversion
  • 3rd and 6-No conversion
  • 3rd and 3-Converted
  • 3rd and 7-No conversion
  • 3rd and 4-Converted
  • 3rd and 6-No conversion
  • 3rd and 20-No conversion
  • 3rd and 15-Converted**
  • 3rd and 1-No conversion
  • 3rd and 14-No conversion
  • 3rd and 5-Converted
  • 3rd and 8-No conversion
  • 3rd and 2-No conversion

So 47 percent of the third downs the offense faced were 3rd and 8, or longer. They converted two of those opportunities and had four opportunities of 3rd and 6, or less they didn’t convert.
