SEASON NOTES
The biggest worry in Kings Christian's season has been the direction of its ball security. Kings Christian committed 1.5 giveaways per game over its first 4 games (3-1), #15 in Sections in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Crusaders have committed 2.5 giveaways per game, a 67% rise, #29 in Sections in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Kings Christian's last 5 opponents have averaged 1.7 per game, a #16 defense in Sections on the season, against 1.0 per game, #26 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.7 per game), Kings Christian turned it over 48% more than those defenses usually force. On the season, Kings Christian ranks #25 in Sections in giveaways.
As the schedule has stiffened, Kings Christian has scored less. The Crusaders averaged 40.4 points per game over their first 5 games (4-1), #8 in Sections during that time. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (3-1), Kings Christian has averaged 25.5 points per game, a 37% drop, #17 in Sections through those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 25.2 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (24.1 points per game), Kings Christian scored 6% more than those defenses usually allow. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, the Crusaders rank #12 in Sections in scoring.
Kings Christian's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. Kings Christian allowed 20.7 points per game over its first 6 games (5-1), #10 in Sections through that stretch. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (2-1), the Crusaders have allowed 27.3 points per game, a 32% rise, #17 in Sections over that stretch.

PPG/OPP PPG use every played game on file. YPG/PLAYS-PER-GAME columns only ever come from games with a full box score on file, which can be a smaller sample than GP -- see the coverage note below when that's the case for this team.
Averages use only games with that number on file (offense 8/9, defense 3/9, sacks/INT 6/9, sacks allowed 3/9, turnovers 8/9 games). SACKS ALW comes from the opponent's box score; TO FORCED is takeaways; TO MAR is takeaways minus giveaways, and its bottom cell is the season total. Dashes mean not on file.
