Fourth-Down Numbers
USC is 10 for 15 (67 percent) on fourth-down conversions this season. One reason for the success is USC often decides to go for it before third down, and call a play to set up an easier fourth-down conversion.

Doesn't that just mean we're not getting it done on 3rd down? We're sucking pretty hard this year in this area.
Wow, I guess it works but when Sark calls for handing it off to Joe McKnight on a third and 14. But I'm still going to curse him.
At least we are being smarter and punting more on 4th down than the past 2 years. Always thought Sark confused Booty & his O-Line with Leinert/Bush and Company.
Did that 3rd and seven direct snap to McKnight vs Oregon State make the 4th down call easier ?
Oh guess it did since Joe lost five yards and then saved Sark the decision by fumbling the ball anyway.
