STORYLINES

Next: at Adairsville, Fri 30 Oct. Matchup report: Ridgeland at Adairsville.

The turnover battle could decide Ridgeland's next game, against Adairsville, and the recent returns favor Ridgeland. Ridgeland committed 1.5 giveaways per game over its first 4 games (0-4), #302 in section in that timeframe. In the 4 games since that slow start (1-3), the Panthers have committed 0.7 giveaways per game, a 56% drop, #134 in section in that window. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Ridgeland's last 4 opponents have averaged 0.8 per game, a #324 defense in section on the season, against 1.0 per game, #284 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (0.8 per game), Ridgeland turned it over 20% less than those defenses usually force. Conversely, Adairsville's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Tigers have forced 1.5 takeaways per game over their last 4 games (3-1), #89 in section during that time. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in section (0.9 per game on the season, which would rank #173). Against those norms, Adairsville forced 62% more turnovers than those offenses usually give up. Overall, those opponents average an SP Strength Index rating that would rank #307 in section, a lower level of competition. Something has to give when Ridgeland's surging ball security meets one of section's better units in Adairsville's.

The number to watch when Ridgeland meets Adairsville is Ridgeland's scoring. Ridgeland averaged 12.7 points per game over its first 3 games (0-3), #380 in section through those games. In the 5 games since that slow start (1-4), the Panthers have averaged 19.6 points per game, a 55% rise, #305 in section through that stretch. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Ridgeland's last 5 opponents have averaged 25.9 points per game, a #255 scoring defense in section on the season, against 22.2 points per game, #183 for the first 3. Measured against those opponents' norms (25.9 points per game), Ridgeland scored 24% less than those defenses usually allow. So the improvement is real, but it still trails what those opponents usually give up. Conversely, Adairsville's defense has been one of section's better units in recent weeks. The Tigers have allowed 17.8 points per game over their last 5 games (3-2), #124 in section over that stretch. Those games came against a middle-of-the-pack set of offenses in section (28.2 points per game on the season, which would rank #172). Against those norms, Adairsville held those offenses 37% below what they usually score. Something has to give when Ridgeland's surging offense meets one of section's better units in Adairsville's. Ridgeland is 1-4 this season when it scores 15 or more, and 0-3 when it doesn't.

NOTES

The biggest shift in Ridgeland's season has come in its ground game. Ridgeland averaged 3.8 yards per carry (533 yards on 142 rushes) over its first 4 games (0-4), #376 in section within that period. In the 4 games since that slow start (1-3), the Panthers have averaged 5.5 yards per carry (515 yards on 93 rushes), a 48% rise, #218 in section across those games. The schedule has a lot to do with it: Ridgeland's last 4 opponents have averaged 4.8 yards per carry, a #107 run defense in section on the season, against 5.2 yards per carry, #161 for the first 4. Measured against those opponents' norms (4.8 yards per carry), Ridgeland ran for 16% more per carry than those run defenses usually allow. On the season, Ridgeland ranks #348 in section in rushing. Adairsville's run defense sits in the middle of the pack, #178 in section (5.4 yards per carry).

Ridgeland's defense from the opening weeks has gone missing since. The Panthers allowed 30.8 points per game over their first 5 games (1-4), #345 in section during those games. Over the stretch of 3 games that followed (0-3), Ridgeland has allowed 44.3 points per game, a 44% rise, #421 in section during that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 28.9 points per game on the season. Measured against those opponents' norms (29.8 points per game), Ridgeland allowed 49% more than those offenses usually score. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 3 opponents average a rating that would rank #203 in section, well above the first 5 (#284), so the dip has come against better teams overall. On the season, the Panthers rank #410 in section in scoring defense. Adairsville's offense sits in the middle of the pack, #190 in section (27.2 points per game). Ridgeland is 1-2 this season when it holds opponents under 28, and 0-5 when it doesn't.

TIDBITS (1 found)

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.
