I think that since we are in the second half of the competition season, that the game is less likely to change from now on. Obviously, it will still change regional to regional, but week 4 is very exciting, especially over at Waterloo.

Second, I think it is because of the teams competing this weekend. There are some great teams competing everywhere this weekend, and a lot more pressure to step it up, especially because many are competing for their second time. Because teams have learned the game in a better sense over the past 3 weeks, they are playing smarter. Smarter, better playing leads to better performances from teams and brings with it more defense. Couple that with teams that almost NEED defense if you want a shot at 4QP, and I think you have your answer.
