Is there any way to figure this out and do they keep stats on this like in the NFL? It seems to me to be a freaking ton this year. I would love to see comparison from this year to last and where we would rank in SEC on this. Does anyone have that? Taht seems to be real difference this yaer to me but Maybe it just seems that way as you remember the 3rd and longs they get so well.
(like the Harvin tip ball, it was 3rd and 10 wasn't it?)

Going into last week, LSU was 8th in the SEC in 3rd down defense. Georgia was 1st in 3rd down conversions.

We had this problem last year also. Much of the problem stems from our substitution patterns. For some reason Pellini and now Peveto/Mallory insist on bringing in extra safeties in our nickle and dime packages as opposed to extra CB's. Our opponents know this and always seem to go to one of their WR's that are matched up with our safeties. And our safeties, while not bad against the pass as far safeties go are not CB's......Needless to say this has bothered me for a year and half.
