Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 81: Exploring the bag to get something
Red tide storm?

When the NCAA tournament entered its seventh week, the Crimson Tide ranked first in defense, but surprisingly, they also ranked first in offense.

Is this certain?
Statistics, nothing wrong?
But no matter how many times I rubbed my eyes and confirmed it, the result was always the same.

Logically, with such a strong offense, the quarterback would undoubtedly be in the spotlight, but this is the Crimson Tide, and the running back is the focus.

Levi! Jacobs!
Twin stars shine.

Jacobs, the highly-regarded four-star high school student, proved his ability. It was not in vain that he was appointed as the starting running back in the spring training camp. He grew rapidly under Burns' training, completed a gorgeous transformation, and became an important part of the Crimson Tide's top ground offense.

Averaging 88.3 yards per game and scoring seven touchdowns in six games, his strong performance attracted a lot of attention.

However, there is no harm without comparison.

Jacobs' performance was already very good, but Levi was even better.

This rookie who popped out of a crack in the stone was like an alien who broke into the football field. Under the microscope of doubt and observation, he brought surprises again and again with his unparalleled performance, proving with practical actions that his performance in the opening game did not use his full energy.

Averaging 133.8 yards per game on the ground, he has already scored touchdowns in six games.

Although it is still slightly inferior to Derrick Henry's beastly performance last year, it is almost the same. He has shown incredible dominance in a completely different style, perfectly filling the vacancy left by Derrick Henry and pushing the Crimson Tide's ground offense to a whole new level.

So far, the most difficult and tough game for the Crimson Tide is against the University of Mississippi, which is ranked 19th in the NCAA.

Originally, everyone thought this would be an easy win with no suspense, but no one expected the University of Mississippi to make its voice heard.

This team, which lacked a star player to lead the team, played at home and showed people the correct way to play the sport of rugby. Relying on the power of the team, they performed as if they were assisted by God on the offensive end, severely frustrated the Crimson Tide's arrogant defense, and kept the score close all the way.

The stalemate lasted until the fourth quarter.

Finally, Levi stepped forward.

A third-and-four-yard ground attack turned into a 17-yard running touchdown, and a fourth-and-two-yard power play was successful and a fake run was completed on a screen, helping Hurts complete a touchdown pass.

"48:43".

The Red Tide Storm won very thrillingly.

At the critical moment, facing the difficulties of playing away from home, Levi showed a tough style and high morale, turning the tide and continuing the Crimson Tide Storm's unbeaten streak.

Strictly speaking, the Crimson Tide's ground attack this season is better than the past two seasons.

Because in the past two seasons, the Crimson Tide relied on Derrick Henry to support the team, but this year, the healthy competition between Levi and Jacobs has made the Crimson Tide's ground offense burst out with even stronger strength. The six-game winning streak was like taking candy from a sack, and they are advancing all the way with unstoppable momentum.

Wonderful, undoubtedly wonderful.

However, as Brand expected——

Lack of challenge.

The opponent is not strong.

Because of the NCAA schedule, the highest ranked opponent in the Crimson Tide's six-game winning streak was the 16th-ranked University of Arkansas.

These teams, firstly, lacked competitiveness and secondly, their defenses were generally weak, and they did not put enough pressure on the Crimson Tide, so that Shaban's ground offense was completely out of control, and the young players Levi and Jacobs did not receive a real test.

However, challenges are coming; and, wave after wave, the death race is approaching rapidly.

Week 7, University of Tennessee, currently ranked seventh.

Week 8, Texas A&M, currently ranked No. 6. Week 9, Louisiana State University, currently ranked No. 13.

With three strong enemies in a row, the test has just begun.

This is the real time for scouts to examine the quality of the Crimson Tide's offense.

Not only Brand, other media are no exception. They are eager to create chaos in the world. They have started to hype and prepare for the event one month ago, and expectations are rising.

The highlight was about to begin. The reporters were all in an uproar, gathering in front of the stadium entrance, unable to contain their excitement.

They were crowded together, waiting for the training to be over so that they could start the interview as soon as possible.

"Here it comes" "Here it comes"...

Amidst the rustling sounds, all the recorders were directed towards the person in front of them, as if they wanted to shove the recorders deep into the other person's throat.

"Lamar, Levi is widely considered to be a better and more accomplished player, and his Heisman Trophy race seems to be catching up to yours. What do you think?"

Lamar Jackson looked at the recorder poking into his nostrils and mouth corners, his face full of despair.

and many more.

The person who appeared in front of the reporter at this moment was Jackson? Not Levi, but Jackson?
The severe test of the red tide storm is about to come. The reporters are surrounding Jackson instead of Levi. Are you sure you have come to the right place?
of course not.

After all, Levi was in Alabama and Jackson was in Kentucky, and there was Tennessee between the two states. Even if the navigation positioning was wrong, it would not be known that they were going in such a far-fetched difference.

Lamar Jackson, a sophomore quarterback for the Louisville Cardinals, is widely considered the front-runner for the 2016 Heisman Trophy.

reason?

Naturally, it comes from the performance on the field.

In the season opener against the Charlotte 49ers, Jackson set a new NCAA record with eight touchdowns in a single game, becoming the player with the most touchdowns in a single game.

For reference, the NFL player's single-game touchdown record will remain at seven until 2023.

What's even more amazing is that Jackson's eight touchdowns all came in the first half, and he clocked out early, a scene that was extremely similar to someone else's.

At that time, people did not compare Levi and Jackson together:
One is a quarterback and the other is a running back, one was hailed as a potential rising star last season and the other just emerged this season, one is from the Atlantic Coast Conference and the other is from the Southeastern Conference, one is a prodigy and the other is a grassroots rookie, there is absolutely no comparison between the two and there is no need to force a relationship between them.

but!

As time went on, attention gradually focused on the two players, whose names appeared frequently in the newspapers in the Heisman Trophy selection, and the competition became more and more intense.

In Week 3, the third-ranked Louisville Cardinals faced off against second-ranked Florida State, a game that was also hailed as a battle to challenge the Crimson Tide's reigning throne candidate.

Jackson was like a god, completing 20 of 13 pass attempts for 216 yards, a passing touchdown and an interception; but at the same time, he also advanced 146 yards on the ground with the ball and scored four running touchdowns. He dominated the game like a king and completely dominated the process of winning and losing.

"63:20", Louisville Cardinals destroyed Florida State University.

It is also because of this game that Jackson jumped to first place in the Heisman Trophy selection odds, becoming the leader in this year's NCAA.

And Levi's name can be seen prominently in this list.
