Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 103 Participation is important
"Who?"

The whole place was silent.

The reporters couldn't believe their ears. What did they just hear?
Could it be that Levi thinks the hatred between the Crimson Tide Storm and the Tigers is not enough, and continues to add fuel to the feud between the mortal enemies?
One reporter thought the noise was too loud at the scene and that Levi didn't hear clearly, so he very considerately repeated it to help Levi out.

"Fournette, Leonard Fournette."

Levi had an innocent look on his face. He swore that he had no intention of targeting anyone and that he really didn't know who that person was. The reporter kept repeating it several times and it was the same thing.

Not far away, Hertz and Humphrey were having a hard time holding back their laughter at the scene in front of them. If they hadn't been worried about causing misunderstandings, they might not have been able to leave Tiger Stadium. They might have burst out laughing right now because they knew Levi wasn't playing a prank -

In the Crimson Tide, Levi is also called by his jersey number or nickname.

At first, the team members thought that Levi was making fun of them, but Levi honestly said that he was not good at remembering names and was naturally indifferent to names. After getting along with each other for a long time, the team members realized that Levi was serious and had no intention of targeting anyone.

Everyone is anonymous.

At this moment, seeing that Levi was about to anger the biggest star of the rival's offensive team in Tiger Stadium, Hurts looked at Humphrey who looked like he was watching a show, and finally couldn't bear it, so he raised his voice to remind him, "Running back, that running back."

Levi captured the key information, "Ah, that running back?"

reporter:……

How could a strong contender for the top running back spot in the NCAA become a nobody in Levi's mouth?

“That running back”?
No matter how I listen to it, it feels...extremely insulting.

Levi's face was still full of sincerity, and the name and face finally matched, "I believe he has tried his best in this game."

As a running back, Levi knows that, aside from his own ups and downs, Fournette's injury and the Red Tide's targeted defense may affect his performance, but at least Fournette has tried his best.

Until the fourth quarter, Fournette did not give up. After hitting the wall continuously, he kept trying and working hard. His spirit is commendable.

however.

Levi's encouraging words sounded like the compensatory feeling of an adult praising a child to the reporter's ears.

is this normal?
"He tried his best", isn't this definitely implying that Fournette's ceiling is just this?

So, participation is the key?

There was a rustling noise among the reporters, their minds were filled with an explosion of information.

Not surprise, but excitement——

With the excitement of digging up explosive news, we can now imagine tomorrow’s sports headlines. The showdown between mortal enemies will never lack gimmicks.

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

The reporter, who was eager to see the world in chaos, immediately raised another question.

"Levi, what do you think of Jackson and Watson? Do you think they deserve the Heisman Trophy, or do you have other ideas?"

A pit, a pit, was right in front of them. A group of wolves and grandma were sharpening their knives and looking at Little Red Riding Hood in front of them.

However, Levi was not panicked at all, "Oh, I think my teammate deserves the Heisman Award more, number 26."

Number twenty-six?

The Crimson Tide's number 26 is none other than... Marlon Humphrey.

Brush brush.

All the reporters' eyes turned to Humphrey, and Humphrey immediately made a move like a bodybuilder showing off his biceps, like a peacock spreading its feathers.

Levi still looked sincere. "I always think that the Heisman Trophy selection only targets offensive players. This is wrong. We should face the fact that football is a team sport. Offense, defense, and special teams are all indispensable. The top players of the NCAA should also include the defensive team."

"If I remember correctly, the Super Bowl MVP was awarded to a defensive player earlier this year, so why not the Heisman Trophy?"

A resounding statement! Reporter: …

Things shouldn't be like this.

They tried to stir up conflict between Levi and Jackson and Watson, and watched the fight; but Levi turned his attention to the reporters.

The Heisman Trophy voting is composed of two parts: professional journalists and former Heisman Trophy winners.

Among them, professional journalists have a total of 870 votes; and there are 57 former Heisman Trophy winners who are still alive and participate in the voting every year.

In other words, these media reporters will decide the Heisman Trophy winner.

Now, Levi is condemning reporters for only seeing offense but not defense, which is not conducive to the development of the sport of football.

The reporter was speechless.

It cannot be refuted, nor can it be defended, and it cannot even be explained. It is true that everyone's attention is on offense, but it is also true that no one should ignore the importance of defense. Faced with such a thorny topic, one may become the target of public criticism if one is not careful. Everyone must think twice before speaking.

Just now, the reporters dug a hole for Levi.

Immediately afterwards, Levi dug a collective grave for the reporters.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The reporters looked at each other in confusion, none of them dared to look Levi in ​​the eye.

Unexpectedly, Levi did not continue to attack the reporter, but changed the subject, "As for the rest, do you want me to evaluate their running ability or their passing ability?"

"If it's passing ability, sorry, I know nothing about passing."

"If it's the ability to run the ball," Levi shrugged lightly, "Hey, I still know some ground offense."

Between the understatements, the mockery and ridicule overflowed, which is also a controversial focus of the NCAA and the NFL:
For the new generation of running quarterbacks, are they quarterbacks or running backs?

However, until now, the debate has not come to a conclusion. Levi once again pushed a difficult problem to all the reporters by changing the concept.

Then, Levi slowly prepared to leave.

The reporters were panicked. How could the interview end? Levi pushed them to the grave and left like that? And they had only asked a few questions?

Reporters hurriedly surrounded Levi and followed him closely. A reporter in the crowd immediately brought up another focus topic.

"Levi, even though this is only your first season in the NCAA, we have to note that you are already a junior, so, are you going to enter the draft next year?"

"Or, are you planning to play another year as a senior?"

Draft?

Indeed, this is a blind spot.

When Levi suddenly appeared, people naturally assumed that Levi would definitely be selected in the draft; but on the other hand, people also discussed Levi's immaturity and the fact that he had been exposed to football for too short a time. If he participated in the draft next year, his marketability would be uncertain, and Levi was still a running back.

Now, as the season progresses, Levi's performance is obvious to all.

Assuming Levi announces his participation in the draft now, regardless of which round he will be selected in, there should be many people who are interested in Levi and invite him to participate in training camp.

Therefore, the "blind spot" was put on the table -

What do the parties involved think?
Unexpectedly, Levi didn't hesitate at all, as if the reporters were not asking about the talent show but what menu to suggest for dinner tonight.

"Oh, this question is not within my consideration for the time being."

Hey, wha…what?
