You know what’s interesting about this chart?
It’s typically an obvious passing down and yet half the conference’s quarterbacks are completing passes at better than a 60% clip. Only three SEC QBs have failed to complete over half their third down throws.
If that doesn’t tell you the era of three yards and a cloud of dust is deader than dead, I don’t know what does.

It tells me Tennessee is really missing Hooker.

Maybe switch some of the brick-handed, speed demon receivers into defensive backs to break up and intercept passes while decreasing drops and still maintaining the completion percentage. I’m looking at you Arian Smith.
Addition by transformation.

Every time a potential interception goes into and out of the hands of one of our guys, I break out my father’s old adage of “That’s why he’s a definitive back and not a receiver.”

I can’t believe Arkansas’s QB is doing that well on third down. Every time I flip over to their game, they QB run for no gain on third and 4th down.

Need Ladd at full speed to make up for Brock.

Again, our soft 1st half schedule has masked some of these kinds of stats.
Money down vs mo money team Ds is coming soon and sure Beck will be ready, but expect that not having Bowers likely lowers the %.
