I don't have the play list in front of me, but I believe the 2nd group with Tua is something like 0-4 or 0-5 on 3rd downs. With a small sample size early that's probably the difference in 39% and 45%. The first unit has been pretty good on 3rd down. Not perfect, but pretty good.

The inability to convert those third downs by the second offensive unit led to late scores by Fresno and CSU. It was especially frustrating on Saturday night.

Pretty much, and it is actually even a bit better.
I may be off a bit, but here are my calculations for the 1st Team (Hurts) offense.
FSU 3/15
Fresno 3/5
CSU 8/11
So, you're looking at 14/31 - or 45% - but it gets a bit better. Three of those failed conversions led to 4th and very short and were converted on 4th down - so the 'keep alive' rate for that group is actually 17/31 (55%), which isn't bad at all.
