I know it FEELS like that in the heat of the moment, but I’d ask you to show your work.

Ole Miss had an 18 play drive, with multiple 3rd and looooongs given up. They were ultimately greater than 50% on 3rd down through the first 3 quarters before the defense finally showed up and turned in a couple consecutive three and outs. 8/14 on 3rd down. That should have easily afforded Nuss 3-4 possessions to have a chance to lob it short and hope our playmakers could make something out of it.

Vandy also was right at or at 50% on 3rd down.

And it’s not just 3rd downs, it’s multiple 3rd and 8s or greater. You can’t give those up at a 50% clip.
