Unrelated, looking at the 3rd down history is interesting because it points to a real schizophrenia when it comes to UW QBs and third downs.
Tolzien was insanely good on third down, top-10.
Wilson was obviously unreal
The Stave years were all not good
The first Hornibrook year was relatively good (especially because the run game was low-key middling), and the second was unreal
The last Hornibrook team was about at the level of this team, though it was odd because that run game was insane and pass game was very, VERY bad
Coan was back to top-10
And then Mertz, which peaked this year at 51st being one of the high points of a not-good offense
My kingdom for a game manager.
