In a way I am sad I will never get to understand what they are talking about, because if A&M's defense ever gets so good I get pissed we are blowing random third downs I will remind myself of how bad it was before John came.

Here it is: Chavis is good, and he had great talent at LSU. But they seemed to do things on a consistent basis against good teams: (1) Near end of the first half or end of game, the other team marches down to near the goal line or scores a TD/FG, (2) the "blown third downs" typically happen more often during critical parts of the game.

Edit: Just one example - LSU vs North Carolina
