What wind changes first

Passing yards can move because of attempts, completion rate, explosive passing, or game plan. The page should distinguish those signals instead of blaming all movement on wind.

Where the data lives

CFBTrack weather routes already connect game conditions to scoring and team splits, so this page can focus on the wind-specific question.
