SEASON NOTES
The biggest shift in La Vernia's season has come in its offense. La Vernia averaged 23.0 points per game over its first 3 games (2-1), #781 in section in that timeframe. In the 7 games since that slow start (5-2), the Bears have averaged 49.3 points per game, a 114% rise, #102 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: La Vernia's last 7 opponents have averaged 30.7 points per game, a #716 scoring defense in section on the season, against 23.2 points per game, #373 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (30.7 points per game), La Vernia scored 60% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 7 opponents average a rating that would rank #762 in section, well below the first 3 (#500), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, La Vernia ranks #209 in section in scoring.
La Vernia's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Bears allowed 14.0 points per game over their first 3 games (2-1), #137 in section during that time. In the 7 games since that hot start (5-2), La Vernia has allowed 28.0 points per game, a 100% rise, #580 in section through those games. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 7 opponents have been softer, averaging 30.3 points per game, a #581 offense in section on the season, against 34.7 points per game, #422 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (30.3 points per game), La Vernia held those offenses 8% below what they usually score. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 7 opponents average a rating that would rank #762 in section, well below the first 3 (#500), which makes the dip harder to excuse. On the season, the Bears rank #394 in section in scoring defense.

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 (defense 9/10, sacks allowed 9/10 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.
