SEASON NOTES
The biggest worry in Manual Arts' season has been the direction of its ball security. Manual Arts committed 0.2 giveaways per game over its first 7 games (0-7), #1 in Section in that timeframe. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), the Toilers have committed 1.0 giveaways per game, a 500% rise, #36 in Section in that window. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Manual Arts' last 4 opponents have averaged 1.4 per game, a #30 defense in Section on the season, against 0.8 per game, #53 for the first 7. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.4 per game), Manual Arts turned it over 29% less than those defenses usually force. By that measure, the early pace looks more like the outlier than the recent one. On the season, Manual Arts ranks #4 in Section in giveaways.
The Toilers averaged 5.4 points per game over their first 7 games (0-7), #69 in Section during that time. 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), Manual Arts has averaged 13.5 points per game, a 149% rise, #56 in Section through those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Manual Arts' last 4 opponents have averaged 24.7 points per game, a #42 scoring defense in Section on the season, against 22.7 points per game, #38 for the first 7. Measured against those opponents' norms (24.7 points per game), Manual Arts scored 45% less 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 #54 in Section. On the season, the Toilers rank #68 in Section in scoring.
Manual Arts' defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. Manual Arts allowed 29.2 points per game over its first 5 games (0-5), #53 in Section through that stretch. In the 6 games since that hot start (2-4), the Toilers have allowed 38.7 points per game, a 32% rise, #70 in Section over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 22.2 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (23.0 points per game), Manual Arts allowed 68% more than those offenses usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 6 opponents average a rating that would rank #45 in Section, well above the first 5 (#57), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, Manual Arts ranks #68 in Section in scoring defense.
Something changed for Manual Arts' ground game after the first 7 games of the season. The Toilers averaged 6.1 yards per carry (866 yards on 141 rushes) over their first 7 games (0-7), #44 in Section within that period. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (2-2), Manual Arts has averaged 8.2 yards per carry (687 yards on 84 rushes), a 33% rise, #27 in Section across those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 8.8 yards per carry on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.8 yards per carry), Manual Arts ran for 7% less per carry than those run 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 #54 in Section. On the season, the Toilers rank #42 in Section in rushing.

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 9/11, defense 7/11, sacks/INT 9/11, sacks allowed 7/11, turnovers 9/11 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.
