Yeah pretty much sucked everywhere on D. I just always hated seeing us give up 3 and 8 or more almost every time.

I think a 10% improvement overall would be excellent. That would take is down to low 30s on 3rd down conversion and low 20s in ppg.

Again, this isn't close to true. Auburn's 3rd down defense was actually pretty good.

For comparison sake...
3rd & 7+
MSU: 17.8% (19/107)
Missouri: 19.3% (21/109)
LSU: 20.9% (23/110)
Ole Miss: 21.6% (21/97)
UT: 21.6% (22/102)
Auburn: 25% (23/92)
UF: 25% (24/96)
Alabama: 32% (40/125)

Auburn was already at 35.75% on 3rd down conversions which was good enough for 26th in the country.
