I’ve felt that way the last two or three years. I would much rather a third and 3 or 4 than a third and long. Would be curious to see our average on giving up a first down on third and long versus the national average and versus third and shorter.
Edit: I think we’ve had an amazing defense the last couple of years. We just SEEM to give up a lot of first downs on third and long.
We bend......we don't break. However we just SEEM to not break...it depends on your definition of break is. Giving up more points than your offense can score could be considered breaking I guess.
