UNC football follows analytics to high 4th-down conversion rate

Posted Oct 13, 2022
Mack Brown has had plenty of "fourth-down fun'' this season. UNC produced first downs or touchdowns 11 times on 15 fourth-down plays in first six games, resulting in a .733 conversion rate that ranks second to only Clemson among ACC teams. So far, that's a major improvement over last season when UNC was successful on only 11 of 20 fourth-downs. (Fayetteville Observer)
