Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 115 The lingering ghost
"Lamar, you're not dreaming about Levi, are you?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

It was a joke. Of course it was 100% a joke, a purely teasing remark to lighten the atmosphere. After all, Jackson had just suddenly woken up from his sleep and ran away. All the students who were studying in the library were scared. They needed to change the atmosphere, so they made a joke.

The big boy who spoke had a smug smile on his face, very satisfied with his own wit, and his face said:

Come and praise me, come and praise me.

As a result, when I looked up, I saw Jackson, the angry King Kong, glaring at me ferociously, with the murderous intent in his eyes rushing towards me with his fangs and claws.

The laughter was immediately cut off.

Watching Jackson angrily appear in front of him, he was more than ten yards away from him one second, and the next second he was face to face and eye to eye.

belch.

Because he was so scared, the older boy didn't even have time to tremble his knees before he burped and stood completely stunned, unable to move.

Jackson was like a lion watching his prey.

"No one is allowed to mention that name again. No one!"

He squeezed out each word from between his teeth.

After saying that, Jackson turned around and rushed out like a tornado.

There was a roar outside the library.

"Ah! Ahhh!"

The entire space seemed to be shaking as well. The figures within the field of vision hunched their shoulders and looked at each other, but no one dared to speak.

Even if Jackson didn't say it, the pressure could be felt on the campus of the University of Louisville.

The University of Louisville is not a traditional powerhouse, but it is not too bad either. They have won the division championship eight times in history, but have never won the league championship, never even advanced to the national championship game, and have never had a Heisman Trophy winner.

A typical example of a person who is good at civil wars but not good at foreign wars.

Until this year, the situation has finally changed, and under the leadership of second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson, they are enjoying unprecedented attention.

Not only has the team made great strides and broken NCAA records, but Jackson is also at the top of the Heisman Trophy odds list, and has a very good chance of becoming the first winner of the NCAA's highest award in team history.

Although they suffered a setback in the head-to-head matchup against the Clemson Tigers, the team quickly regained its footing and returned to the winning track.

After defeating the underdog Wake Forest University without any suspense last week, the Louisville Cardinals finally returned to the third place in the NCAA rankings.

The current NCAA team rankings are:

First, the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Second, the Clemson Tigers.

Third, the Louisville Cardinals.

Coincidentally, the top three in the Heisman Trophy odds list, Jackson, Levi, and Watson, also belong to these three teams, and the competition is becoming increasingly fierce.

From all indications, this is the best time for the Louisville Cardinals to make history, whether it's a national championship or a Heisman Trophy.

however.

Three days ago, the Alabama Crimson Tide withstood the test and defeated the Louisiana State Tigers in a fierce battle, continuing their undefeated season.

Likewise, the Clemson Tigers were not to be outdone and continued to chase the Alabama Crimson Tide's season-winning pace with a resounding victory.

The Louisville Cardinals lost to the Houston Jaguars, who are not currently ranked in the NCAA, and became the first team to fall behind among the championship favorites. Losing is bad, but what is worse is that Jackson's performance was mediocre and invisible throughout the game.

"36:10".

This was the final score of the game, a very familiar score for the Louisville Cardinals this season. Unfortunately, they were not the one scoring more points this time, as their score hit a season low. Jackson's statistics all hit the bottom, and he played almost nothing in the first half.

It was not until the second half that Jackson woke up from his dream and regained some of his feeling, but it was too late.

Therefore, a question about running quarterbacks, especially Jackson, has once again emerged:

With Jackson's physically demanding playing style, how long can he last?

How long can a game maintain a high frequency? How about a season? How about the playoffs? How about an entire career?
After the game, Jackson became the target of public criticism, and the media reporters who celebrated Christmas in advance directly blasted Jackson.

In stark contrast to Levi, in the game against the Louisiana State Tigers, Levi also failed to break through the defense in the first half, but staged a comeback in the second half. It was not just about running for touchdowns twice, but he boosted morale in a head-to-head battle.

No comparison, no harm——

In comparison, Jackson seems to have been like this this season, only able to perform in the first half and then failing in the second half.

So, how do the parties respond?
At first, Jackson tried to change the subject, but in the end it all came back to Levi, and Jackson finally got irritated.

"I will beat him."

Jackson made a proclamation.

The reporters swarmed over like sharks smelling blood. "Are you talking about the National Championship Game or the Heisman Trophy?"

In the regular season, Alabama and Louisville have no chance to meet, and there should be no bowl game. The only possibility is the national championship game. Including these two teams plus Clemson, they should be the main contenders for the national championship this season.

Jackson, “Both.”

The reporters were immediately excited. "What?"

Jackson almost roared in response, "National Champions and Heisman Trophy, we will have the last laugh. Believe me, we are the champions."

Finally, after dropping a bunch of heavy stuff, Jackson was able to get away.

Later, reporters who were eager to stir up trouble conveyed Jackson's words to Levi, hoping that Levi would respond.

"Oh."

The reporters doubted their ears, but they were not mistaken, and Levi simply nodded to indicate that he understood.

Waiting for the reporter to ask further questions, Levi explained, "What we need to consider now is not the national championship game or the bowl game, but the next opponent, Mississippi State University."

"As for the U.S. Championship, we will have time to think about it once our opponents are chosen and the game arrives. We need to prepare for each game down to earth. After all, there are still three weeks left in the regular season. Everything is possible. The situation may be completely overturned. No team can relax and bask in the sun."

This is a traditional virtue from the ancient East: modesty.

In fact, the root cause was that Shaban held an internal team meeting to sound the alarm.

The NCAA has many strong teams, and a win or loss could disrupt the rankings, bowl game matchups, and qualification for the national championship game, etc.

Even if the Crimson Tide has won nine consecutive games, they should not be too proud, otherwise Clemson last season will be a role model.

When Levi's words were passed through the mouth of the reporter and reached Jackson's ears, they took on a completely different meaning.

"Levi doesn't take Lamar Jackson seriously. Wait until the Louisville Cardinals make it to the national championship game."

There was no need for any other words, Jackson exploded:

ah! Ahhhh!
