STORYLINES

Next: vs Lovelady, Fri 30 Oct. Matchup report: Lovelady at IOLA.

The number to watch when IOLA meets Lovelady is IOLA's scoring. IOLA averaged 12.7 points per game over its first 3 games (0-3), #1091 in section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that slow start (0-4), the Bulldogs have averaged 23.8 points per game, an 88% rise, #786 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: IOLA's last 4 opponents have averaged 27.5 points per game, a #574 scoring defense in section on the season, against 17.3 points per game, #160 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (27.5 points per game), IOLA scored 14% less than those defenses usually allow. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #754 in section, well below the first 3 (#374), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. Conversely, Lovelady's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Lions have allowed 9.0 points per game over their last 4 games (3-1), #67 in section during that time. Those games came against some of the weaker offenses in section (22.7 points per game on the season, which would rank #856). Against those norms, Lovelady held those offenses 60% below what they usually score. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #761 in section, a lower level of competition. Something has to give when IOLA's surging offense meets one of section's better units in Lovelady's. IOLA is 0-5 this season when it scores 13 or more, and 0-2 when it doesn't.

NOTES

The biggest shift in IOLA's season has come in its defense. IOLA allowed 42.5 points per game over its first 4 games (0-4), #1087 in section through those games. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (0-3), the Bulldogs have allowed 30.3 points per game, a 29% drop, #654 in section through that stretch. The schedule deserves some of the credit: IOLA's last 3 opponents have averaged 19.6 points per game, a #960 offense in section on the season, against 40.9 points per game, #210 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (19.6 points per game), IOLA allowed 55% more than those offenses usually score. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #861 in section, well below the first 4 (#383), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, IOLA ranks #947 in section in scoring defense. Lovelady's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #701 in section (27.5 points per game). IOLA is 0-2 this season when it holds opponents under 28, and 0-5 when it doesn't.

APPENDIX

Full-length explanations and full-size data exports for the shortened notes and relocated tables referenced throughout this report, numbered in the order their pointers appear above.

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.
