Also, as to the point of "we go for it on 4th down", if we combine 3rd and 4th

down conversion attempts and give BYU "credit" for a conversion if they ended up going for it on 4th down and converting, then we go from 5/24 on 3rd downs to 9/24 on 3rd/4th downs. That basically brings BYU from being downright atrocious on 3rd downs to simply being bad on 3rd/4th down conversions.

It's not "as big of a deal". Which is not the same as saying it's not "a big deal"

I think that low 3rd down conversion rates can be troubling, but they also don't

Not that surprising when the top 3 RB's weren't available for Game 3.

If fewer fans dismiss it, how will that affect the game?

We will have to improve that stat to win. Such things are not always permanent.
