Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 62 Shocking Education
Robinson is tall and strong, with a body of 320 pounds (145 kilograms) and a height of nearly two meters. Standing there, he is as dark as a messenger from hell. His ferocious and ferocious look might scare a child to tears if he were to walk on the street at night. At this moment, his serious expression is particularly terrifying.

But if you calm down and look directly into his eyes, you can see enthusiasm and passion in that fierce face. He is completely crazy about football.

"Brothers, everyone is paying attention to us. Everyone wants to defeat us because they are afraid. Because we are the strongest!"

"If they thought we were going to be easily defeated, if they thought we were going to be vulnerable, then they should pay the price for their stupidity."

"We are the Crimson Tide, we are the defending champions, not because we were born to be champions, but because we were born to fight for victory!"

Every word he spoke was powerful, and Robinson's gaze was so firm and intense that one could almost see the boiling blood.

Then, looking around, Robinson extended his right hand and placed it in the center.

"Count to three!"

One hand, then another, the palms of all eleven players overlapped, and Robinson's shout came to his ears.

"Red Tide!"

"roar!"

One response and one answer, one response and one answer again.

Three times in a row, accompanied by shouts of "Roar", with arms raised to the sky, the Crimson Tide players roared to the sky and turned to the 25-yard line.

At the start of the game, the Trojans' special teams have completed the kickoff. It was a steady and conservative kickoff without any waves. The Crimson Tide will start the attack from their own 25-yard line.

call.

Hurts let out a long breath, a little nervous, and subconsciously turned his head to look over. At a glance, he saw the only best partner in the offensive team standing in the pocket with the quarterback:
Running back.

Levi was not nervous. Not only was he not nervous, he was actually eager to try. He looked forward and was carefully examining the Trojans' defensive position.

As if noticing Hertz's gaze, Levi turned around and smiled at Hertz, "How about it, are you ready?"

Hutz subconsciously wanted to deny it, but looking into Levi's eyes, he couldn't help but tell the truth, "I'm not sure. God, I'm a little nervous."

After all, he was born in 1998 and was a high school student a few months ago.

Levi's smile spread. "It's good to be nervous because you're looking forward to it and you care about it. The point is, those guys on the other side are just like you."

Hertz was stunned for a moment, and the next second a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Levi patted Hertz's shoulder and said, "Besides, you are not fighting alone."

After saying that, Levi looked forward again.

Hertz stood there, his shoulders slowly straightened, and his eyes gradually became clear.

Levi was not looking into the distance, but observing the defense. As the coaching staff said before the game, the Trojans' defense has very specific characteristics.

Maybe not top-tier, and not as loaded with first-round caliber standouts as the Clemson Tigers.

But don't forget that rugby is a team sport. When everyone adds fuel, the fire burns higher. By combining collective strength through tactical combinations, the game can be changed.

此前提过，目前NFL和NCAA的主流防守阵型是“4-3”或者“3-4”二选一，90%以上的防守都是如此。

There are a few exceptions here, and the Southern California Trojans are part of that 10%—

"5-2" formation.

In fact, the "5-2" formation is a variation of the "4-3", with five defensive linemen and two linebackers. The linebackers sacrifice the coverage of the short pass area, increase the pressure and re-pass of the defensive line on the pocket, and increase the first wave of ground attack near the line of scrimmage, and accumulate heavy troops on the front line. On the one hand, the five defensive linemen can match the number of offensive linemen and control the situation in the front line confrontation.

On the one hand, the "5-2" formation is not simply a pile of numbers. The five defensive frontmen are a spiker, two defensive tackles and two defensive ends. It has both the front-line pressure ability of the "4-3" formation and the ground defense ability of the "3-4" formation.

Of course, every advantage has its disadvantages. Relatively speaking, short pass defense will face tremendous pressure because of the lack of a linebacker. Tactical coordination cannot be carried out and often relies more on the personal ability of the linebacker.

The USC Trojans have always been a team that excels at offense, but have always lacked tradition and heritage on defense. Hayden, who was originally an offensive coordinator, has an even worse understanding of defense, and the frequent changes in the Trojans' coaching staff over the past few seasons have only made things more confusing.

The reason why Hayden chose the "5-2" formation is very intuitive -

simple.

Because this defensive formation is relatively fixed, the tactics do not change much, and it always focuses on front-line pressure and ground defense, so it does not require too much thought.

It also means that players do not need to spend time and energy on coordinating tactics, develop tacit understanding on basic tactics, and give full play to the advantage of numbers.

Even if his move was discovered by his opponent, he could still rely on his numerical advantage and collective cooperation to confront the opponent. In this way, Haydn could free up his energy to focus on attacking.

This is a gamble, using a rigid defensive routine to try to ensure the team's bottom line, so that the defense will not be pulled down too much, and then win through offense.

As for whether the gamble can be fulfilled, it can only be proved through the competition.

For Hayden, playing against the Crimson Tide is not a good thing, but it is also a good thing, because the Crimson Tide's offense is relatively weak and focuses more on ground offense. The "5-2" formation is just a tit-for-tat. In the absence of Derrick Henry, the big killer, maybe the Trojans do have a chance to win.

The only variable is how Shaban will respond?
Or to be more precise, what capabilities do the running back lineup consisting of a series of new faces such as Levi, Jacobs, and Clark have?
A rookie, a high school student, and a substitute of a substitute, such a combination left everyone scratching their heads.

Now, the answer is about to be revealed.

Levi, I have a little expectation.

New season, new lineup, new game, so in the opening stage, neither side played any tricks. They needed to test their tactics and adapt to the rhythm of the game. Naturally, they started with the formation they were best at.

Ten yards in one gear.

The Crimson Tide Storm took up a classic pistol formation, with Levi standing behind Hertz. Although his vision was blocked, the formations on both sides were still clearly visible.

It can be seen at this time that the Trojans' defense has a heavy presence on the front line, appearing top-heavy. Not only the defensive front line, but even the safeties are positioned in advance, clearly showing a strategy of weakening the passing defense, aiming to surprise the quarterback, pressure the pass rush, and cut off the ground defense.

The entire tactic is clear and direct.

For the young Hurts, reading the defense became much easier.

"attack!"

The sound of Hurts' kickoff cut through the sky, and the entire offensive line of the Crimson Tide Storm moved to the right at the same time. The muffled sound of helmets colliding exploded, and all eyes were focused on the right wing of the Crimson Tide Storm. The collision of strength and strength stirred up wave after wave of heat waves.

It's like a meat grinder.

The figures were completely entangled with each other, making it impossible to see through them.

But at this moment, a figure emerged from the entanglement of the offensive and defensive lines, and light footsteps danced in the chaos.

That's...wait, that's number twenty-three?

what!
