What % of 3rd-down passes are thrown short of the stick?

idk but fans make it out to be like their QB is the only one that does it. It's extremely common, and yes, every fanbase hates seeing it when it doesn't work. DBs play the sticks for a reason and sometimes you just gotta take what they give and hope the receiver plunges forward. Fwiw, even the pros have a median ALEX (throwing short of the sticks) of 43%.

Shrout made one Saturday waaay short of the sticks, probably 6 yards short, but Tillman made a fantastic effort play to break tackles and get there. Kid has a little JJ in him.

I'd love to watch a game where everything went wrong for UF vs the Vols. Watch their 2014 game vs Mizzou. Mizzou was a very good team that year but UF was just awful in that particular matchup. They couldn't do anything right. Mizzou jumped out to 35-0 in the Swamp and most of those points were off turnovers, a kick return, and a punt return.

We've been in a game like that with them. It's just that everything went wrong for us too. It was the year we started Peterman.

What % of 3rd-down passes are thrown short of the stick?

Alright, here are his throws on 3rd or 4th down that went to or past the sticks.

Ga St - 6/9 - 2 short of the stick throws were on 3rd & 17 and 3rd & 20 and got us into field goal range.

BYU - 8/12 - again 2 of them were on plays of 15 or more yards and got us into field goal range.

Chattanooga - 1/1

Total: 15/22 68% thrown to the sticks or beyond. Again, the NFL median is 43%. 4 of the 7 thrown short were on very long 3rd downs and got us closer to a field goal (or a TD in the case of our first drive vs BYU).

I think sport fans, like poker players taking bad beats, tend to remember the worst things in their mind and exaggerate them (not intentionally, some things just stick out in our minds and tend to be the negative).

Id like to see Tillman get a lot of targets this year, he is big and physical.

Stopped reading at "Seen on Facebook"

Fwiw, 1 hour ago in the teleconference "Full Pruitt quote: “Bryce has practiced with us for the last two weeks. We’re going to continue to stay on that path. He’s going to practice with us and we’ll make that decision when the time comes.”

Most just expect he will play, but I don't think it will be announced before gameday, if announced at all. Imo sit him the first play, then call a TO...trot BT out there and have him go right up to Van Jefferson and talk shiz. GAME ON

Wasn’t the teleconference yesterday? Why would anyone call TO to sub in a DB?

With all that said...still not stretching the field.
