NOTES
The biggest worry in Fallbrook's season has been the direction of its defense. Fallbrook forced 2.5 takeaways per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #5 in Section within that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (2-3), the Warriors have forced 0.8 takeaways per game, a 68% drop, #70 in Section across those games. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 5 opponents have been softer, averaging 1.4 per game, a #66 offense in Section on the season, against 1.1 per game, #54 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.4 per game), Fallbrook forced 41% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. On the season, Fallbrook ranks #28 in Section in takeaways. Westview's ball security, #87 of 91 (2.2 per game), could be the get-right matchup Fallbrook needs.
Fallbrook's ground game has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Warriors averaged 5.7 yards per carry (1,098 yards on 193 rushes) over their first 6 games (4-2), #42 in Section during those games. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (1-2), Fallbrook has averaged 8.0 yards per carry (777 yards on 97 rushes), a 41% rise, #19 in Section during that period. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Fallbrook's last 3 opponents have averaged 7.1 yards per carry, a #77 run defense in Section on the season, against 5.5 yards per carry, #43 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.1 yards per carry), Fallbrook ran for 13% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #56 in Section. On the season, the Warriors rank #29 in Section in rushing. Westview's run defense sits in the middle of the pack, #41 in Section (5.4 yards per carry).
Fallbrook averaged 5.2 yards per play (1,436 yards on 277 snaps) over its first 5 games (3-2), #73 in Section during that stretch. Few teams started slower in this department, and few have turned it around as sharply since. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), the Warriors have averaged 6.5 yards per play (1,372 yards on 211 snaps), a 25% rise, #56 in Section over that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 7.1 yards per play on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.3 yards per play), Fallbrook gained 11% less per snap than those defenses usually allow. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #56 in Section. On the season, Fallbrook ranks #66 in Section in yards per play. Westview's defense sits in the middle of the pack, #31 in Section (6.1 yards per play).
Something changed for Fallbrook's run defense after the first 5 games of the season.

Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), Fallbrook has allowed 5.3 yards per carry (547 yards on 104 rushes), a 22% rise, #37 in Section over that span. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 4 opponents have been softer, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, a #74 rushing attack in Section on the season, against 5.3 yards per carry, #54 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (4.5 yards per carry), Fallbrook allowed 16% more per carry than those rushing attacks usually gain. On the season, the Warriors rank #25 in Section in run defense. Westview's ground game, #79 of 89 (3.9 yards per carry), could be the get-right matchup Fallbrook needs.
Fallbrook's defense has given up chunk yardage as the season has progressed.

Explanatory Notes
Note 1 -- SEASON OUTLOOK
Every remaining game is projected from schedule-adjusted ratings; already-played games carry their real result. Records are simulated distributions, not a single guess -- MOST LIKELY FINAL is the single most probable record and its own probability, PROJECTED RECORD is the season's expected win total expressed in record form (an average across every simulated outcome, so it can land on a fraction of a game).
Note 2 -- OPPONENT TRACKER -- why some cards have no record shown
Only meaningful for an opponent who is ALSO a tracked team in the library -- an opponent with no games on file here at all shows the date and site alone.
Note 3 -- MOST IMPORTANT NUMBERS -- how a number is scored
Every split this report computes is scored on how strong the number is and how much it sets this team apart from its opponent and the rest of the field, and the top 5 per team are listed. A condition needs at least 8 occurrences to count.
