How was it advantageous for Vaught's teams to punt on third down?

For years and years, I have heard boomer after boomer describe that gameplanning as if it were ingenious - yet I have never completely understood how or why? How does purposely using one less given down benefit your team in any way?

I was born in 91. The flexbone and Wing-T era were waaay before me.

Maybe it's an obvious answer but I have never completely understood it.
