Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 43 Ready to make a move
Indeed, Bateman's passing accuracy is average, but don't forget that Bateman can become the number two quarterback of a traditional strong team like the Crimson Tide. Maybe his ability ceiling is lower, but he is definitely not a straw bag.

Short passes often rely on coordination. As long as the pass trajectory is not too outrageous and the wide receiver and tight end do not make mistakes in their understanding of the tactics, the connection can be successful.

While the Red Tide's front line ground offense attracted a lot of firepower, Shaban arranged a series of short pass tactics to gradually penetrate the opponent's defensive position.

Tactics, is there anything new?
No. Shaban's passing game was always in good shape.

Tactics, is it working?

Yes.

That's enough.

Shaban's rich experience and maturity were once again on display, alternating between passing and running. It took a full eight minutes and thirty-seven seconds, and he finally scored a touchdown on a third-down, third-yard situation in the red zone.

Fake run, real pass.

Bateman pretended to hand the football to Levi, who drew the attention, but he turned around and found tight end Hunter Keith.

Hentkes caught the ball with his back to the end zone. After controlling the football, he was tackled, but he used his physical advantage to eat the tackle and forced his way into the end zone.

Touchdown, got it!
After the extra point was accurately hit, "14:21".

The home team Crimson Tide closed the gap even further, with only one touchdown left, and Bryant-Denny Stadium erupted with incredible energy.

"roar!"

"roar!"

Even though this was just a warm-up match and the outcome was irrelevant, considering the history of the two teams and the clash in the U.S. Championship final earlier this year, there was incredible enthusiasm from the players to the fans, and they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the game, which was in no way inferior to a formal match.

Tigers are no exception.

Oops.

Suddenly, Dexter Lawrence, one of the "Black-Faced Yama", stood up. Compared with players like Watkins and Wilkins, Lawrence, who is still a high school student, is still young and passionate.

Always be ready to prove yourself and never miss any opportunity.

What's more, Lawrence and another high school student, No. 99 Farrell, were competing within the team. Seeing that Farrell failed to live up to the coach's expectations, Lawrence became excited and looked at the coach with burning eyes.

Are they just going to let it go like this?

That No. 23 is a fool, that quarterback can only pass the ball shortly, and the Crimson Tide's offensive tactics are the same old three routines over and over again. If Farrell can't stop them, he can be substituted in to perform!

Watkins and Wilkins did not stop Lawrence, in fact, they just wanted to see the coach's attitude -

They don't like red tide storms.

If they have to choose, they still prefer the Crimson Tide who they pinned to the ground and rubbed hard in the first half. Even though this was a warm-up game, Watkins and Wilkins have not forgotten the bitterness of losing the National Championship Game at the beginning of the year. What about the promised regaining ground and perfect revenge?

Sweeney was also a little hesitant.

Warm-up matches also have tactical significance. Should he really disrupt his plan just for a warm-up match victory? Or should he continue to trust his players? After all, he can't just use one lineup in the new season?
Thoughts went around in a circle in my mind.

When Sweeney turned around, he saw Watson still leaning against the back of the chair with his hands folded on his chest. Although his face was serious and he no longer had the leisurely mood he just had, at least he remained calm and did not panic because of the situation.

Sweeney also calmed down -

It was all because of the No. 23 running back, a finisher who emerged from some corner and was not mentioned at all in their pre-game scouting report, which disrupted their plan.

Damn.

But they should not panic and still need to proceed according to the plan.

then.

Sweeney ignored Lawrence's look and re-determined his thoughts——

Anyway, the third quarter is coming to an end, and it is the Tigers' chance to attack. They should calm down and advance steadily through positional warfare, on the one hand to ensure possession of the ball, and on the other hand to consume time. If they can finally score a touchdown, then the initiative to victory will still be with the Tigers.

Sweeney regained his resolve and waved his hand, signaling the offensive team to come on the field.

Sure enough, this time on offense, Sweeney's tactical layout was more detailed and richer, and he engaged in a positional battle with the Crimson Tide's defense.

Seven minutes and forty-five seconds.

This wave of offense lasted from the third quarter to the fourth quarter, with short passes and running the ball as the main players. The Tigers fought back with the same offensive method as the Crimson Tide had just used, and after gaining a foothold, they showed their strength that had seen them fight with the Crimson Tide until the very end in last year's national championship final.

Unfortunately, there was no touchdown.

The Crimson Tide defense completed a crucial red zone defense, intercepting the opponent at the seven-yard line in front of the end zone, but the Tigers still steadily got a free kick.

In the second half, the first opening took place.

"24:14".

The score gap widened again, and most of the fourth quarter time had been consumed, which put the Crimson Tide into a difficult position.

Watson, settled down again, was talking and laughing with his teammates again.

Watkins and Wilkins also calmed down, only Lawrence was still eager to try and prove himself in such a game.

The balance of victory and defeat quietly tilted towards the Tigers, although it was slight, but the subtle change in the situation did change the mood. When the Crimson Tide Storm's offensive team took the court again, they could feel a tragic pressure falling on their shoulders.

Levi also felt it.

Even though it is not a formal competition, the excitement of winning or losing fills the heart. Unlike cross-country running and mixed martial arts, a heavy burden of unity falls heavily on the heart, making people tense and excited at the same time.

This is the first time.

The Red Tide Storm felt it, and the Tigers felt it too, and sparks burst out on the first play of the offense—

Roar!
Farrell came on stage like a sumo wrestler, moving his feet from a squat position and celebrating by humiliating the Crimson Tide's offense.

"Feel sorry."

Lester Cotton, the right offensive tackle on the Crimson Tide's offensive line, extended his right hand toward Levi with an apologetic look on his face.

Just now, Cotton failed to keep his position and was immediately broken out of Farrell's pocket, so that Levi had just taken the football from Bateman when he saw Farrell's tackle. Levi had no time to move at all before he was tackled and fell to the ground.

Very embarrassing.

Cotton knew it was entirely his fault and he needed to take full responsibility.

Levi reached out and grabbed Cotton's right hand, using the force to stand up, and patted Cotton on the shoulder, "Well done, don't make the same mistake again next time."

A joke made Cotton touch his helmet.

Levi didn't mind, even though Cotton's failure to stay in position was an unnecessary mistake, but what was more important was that their offensive tactics were seen through by the opponent, and the Tigers' defense had the upper hand, which was the fundamental point.

What's more, it is impossible to avoid collisions in a rugby game.

During this collision, Levi could feel the bloody smell spreading on the tip of his tongue——

There is a little bit of excitement and a little bit of excitement.

Crushing is good and fun, but crushing without confrontation is too boring. The crushing and destruction after the confrontation of grabbing money is really interesting.

Levi thought, it seems that No. 99 is already prepared.
