In 2016, the Huskies converted 44.12% of their third down attempts, ranking third in the Pac-12.
In 2017 and 2018, they finished first — at 45.39% and 45.36%, respectively.

The conclusion: even as other aspects of the offense fluctuated, UW produced a relatively consistent third-down conversion rate.
Which makes this season’s dramatic decline all the more surprising.
Through eight games this fall, Washington is moving the chains on 35.
