SEASON NOTES
The biggest worry in Woodland's season has been the direction of its ball security. Woodland committed 0.8 giveaways per game over its first 5 games (2-3), #25 in Section in that timeframe. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), the Wolves have committed 1.6 giveaways per game, a 100% rise, #95 in Section in that window. The schedule doesn't excuse it: the last 5 opponents have been softer, averaging 1.3 per game, a #82 defense in Section on the season, against 1.6 per game, #51 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (1.3 per game), Woodland turned it over 25% more than those defenses usually force. On the season, Woodland ranks #61 in Section in giveaways.
The Wolves averaged 5.9 yards per pass attempt (676 yards on 115 attempts) over their first 5 games (2-3), #111 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 (4-1), Woodland has averaged 10.0 yards per pass attempt (931 yards on 93 attempts), a 70% rise, #41 in Section through those games. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Woodland's last 5 opponents have averaged 7.8 yards per attempt, a #56 pass defense in Section on the season, against 7.1 yards per attempt, #33 for the first 5. Measured against those opponents' norms (7.8 yards per attempt), Woodland threw for 28% more per attempt than those pass defenses usually allow. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #93 in Section. On the season, the Wolves rank #84 in Section in passing.
Woodland's offense has come a long way since the season's early weeks. Woodland averaged 22.7 points per game over its first 6 games (2-4), #94 in Section through that stretch. Over the stretch of 4 games that followed (4-0), the Wolves have averaged 36.0 points per game, a 59% rise, #39 in Section over that stretch. The schedule deserves some of the credit: Woodland's last 4 opponents have averaged 28.4 points per game, a #96 scoring defense in Section on the season, against 21.9 points per game, #48 for the first 6. Measured against those opponents' norms (28.4 points per game), Woodland scored 27% more than those defenses usually allow. The level of competition matters too: in ScorePirate's SP Strength Index, the last 4 opponents average a rating that would rank #110 in Section, well below the first 6 (#73), so the recent production comes against lower-level teams overall. On the season, Woodland ranks #72 in Section in scoring.
Something changed for Woodland's defense after its first 5 games. The Wolves forced 2.6 takeaways per game over their first 5 games (2-3), #7 in Section within that period. In the 5 games since that hot start (4-1), Woodland has forced 1.4 takeaways per game, a 46% drop, #66 in Section across those games. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 1.4 per game on the season. On the season, the Wolves rank #19 in Section in takeaways.
Woodland's offense has started chewing up yardage as the season has developed. Woodland averaged 5.6 yards per play (1,192 yards on 214 snaps) over its first 5 games (2-3), #112 in Section during those games. In the 5 games since that slow start (4-1), the Wolves have averaged 7.3 yards per play (1,617 yards on 221 snaps), a 31% rise, #68 in Section during that period. The schedule doesn't explain it: the opponents in both stretches have averaged about 6.9 yards per play on the season. Overall, though, those opponents have been lower-level teams: their average SP Strength Index rating would rank just #93 in Section. On the season, Woodland ranks #90 in Section in yards per play.

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.
