UM 4th Down Conversion Rate

[PlayerRep]

As I mentioned previously, the UM 4th down conversion rate was terrible. 3d down conversion was 4th in conference.

Interesting that the # of times most teams were successful was between 8-11 times. No matter how many times they went for it.

When you lose 4 of 5, you tend to go for 4th down in a lot of scenarios late in games where you wouldn't normally.

That, and our ridiculously stupid 4th & goal plays that never work.

Basically this. But we did definitely struggle on 4th down

Brady made some really weird decisions on late downs all seasons I noticed. Hopefully the next guy can get that figured out.

It would be interesting to know how many times the opposition scored after UM failed to convert on 4th down.

Got lower as the season progressed. Offense and defense were better at the start of the season.

Interesting point considering that going for it on 4th down was a big part of the Stitt mystique....

It's interesting that a lot of quick strike offenses landed at the bottom of the list. It makes sense to me that three yards and a cloud of dust would be more successful in 4 downs.

I have no problem "going for it" on 4th down, on occasion. I just don't think it should be something a team should PLAN on having to do frequently.

Remember the first few games last year? I mumbled WTF more times than I care to think about the first 3 or 4 games with his 4th down philosophy...at least he learned from some of those decisions.
