Third down conversion rate, however, is another incomplete stat.  USC's average third down was a third and three.  Ours was a third and eight.  Only a few college quarterbacks (Manziel and Winston) have managed to convert 50 percent or more on third and 7-10.

So one very useful stat is, on what percentage of your first downs does you manage at least four yards? 

And what percent of your third downs required three or fewer yards to convert?
