SEASON NOTES
Mountainside's ground game looks better on paper, but one afternoon is doing a lot of the work. Mountainside averaged 4.0 yards per carry (713 yards on 177 rushes) on the season, #193 in section, but that number is boosted by a 172-yard game on 22 rushes against ScorePirate AIA Division 2A #1 San Pasqual Valley on 9/24. In all other games, Mountainside is at 3.5 yards per carry (541 yards on 155 rushes), a figure that would rank #208 in section.
The biggest shift in Mountainside's season has come in its defense. The Wolves forced 0.2 takeaways per game over their first 5 games (0-5), #240 in section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), Mountainside has forced 1.2 takeaways per game, a 500% rise, #153 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Mountainside's last 5 opponents have averaged 1.8 per game, a #165 offense in section on the season, against 1.6 per game, #134 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.8 per game), Mountainside forced 33% fewer turnovers than those offenses usually give up. 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 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #187 in section, well below the first 5 (#146), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Wolves rank #227 in section in takeaways.
Mountainside averaged 6.8 points per game over its first 5 games (0-5), #230 in section during that time. Few teams started slower in this department, and few have turned it around as sharply since. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), the Wolves have averaged 14.2 points per game, a 109% rise, #197 in section through those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 22.3 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (23.1 points per game), Mountainside scored 39% 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 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #187 in section, well below the first 5 (#146), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Mountainside ranks #222 in section in scoring.
Mountainside's passing game has come a long way since the season's early weeks. The Wolves averaged 3.5 yards per pass attempt (344 yards on 97 attempts) over their first 5 games (0-5), #215 in section through that stretch. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), Mountainside has averaged 6.6 yards per pass attempt (501 yards on 76 attempts), an 86% rise, #146 in section over that stretch. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 8.3 yards per attempt on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.5 yards per attempt), Mountainside threw for 23% less per attempt than those pass 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 5 opponents average a rating that would rank #187 in section, well below the first 5 (#146), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, the Wolves rank #201 in section in passing.
Something changed for Mountainside's offense after its first 5 games. Mountainside averaged 3.6 yards per play (672 yards on 187 snaps) over its first 5 games (0-5), #210 in section within that period. In the 5 games since that slow start (2-3), the Wolves have averaged 5.4 yards per play (886 yards on 163 snaps), a 51% rise, #162 in section across those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Mountainside's last 5 opponents have averaged 8.6 yards per play, a #198 defense in section on the season, against 7.3 yards per play, #143 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (8.6 yards per play), Mountainside gained 37% less per snap than those defenses usually allow.

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 9/10, defense 8/10, sacks/INT 6/10, sacks allowed 5/10 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.
