Comparing Red Zone and 3rd down %

This year so far I wanted to see how we compared in some of the statistics that apparently matter a lot in the outcome of games. I looked at 3rd down % and red zone. Our turnover margin is -1 so figured didnt need to post that one up. Thoughts on where things are now and where they are going?

3rd down % on Offense

Currently we are #15 which is surprising.
We have also faced GT #1, ECU #10, OSU #20
