Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 82 Sowing discord
The new NCAA season has kicked off, and at the same time, the Heisman Trophy selection has officially begun.

In the third week, Louisville Cardinals quarterback Jackson became famous overnight and became the strongest contender for the Heisman Trophy, leading the list.

In the fourth week, the Crimson Tide faced an unexpectedly tough battle against the University of Mississippi. Levi's calmness in the face of danger and his efforts to turn the tide once again sparked a media frenzy.

This has caused Levi to rise sharply in the Heisman Trophy selection odds, currently ranking fourth, behind Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield.

Fourth, it’s not high.

But the point is that the top three are all quarterbacks, and Levi has risen to fourth place as a running back, and he is also a dark horse that has emerged this season. It is equivalent to a freshman entering this list, which easily attracts all the firepower. Football reporters across the United States are paying attention to the latest developments.

Attention, layer upon layer.

Naturally, as the Crimson Tide stormed forward and remained undefeated, the voices calling for Levi continued to grow, and Jackson also felt the crisis.

"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?"

Jackson drooped his eyelids and glanced at the recorder pressed against his cheek, revealing a faint smile, without any hurry, and he was too lazy to even lift his eyelids.

"Congratulations. I noticed his performance as well."

"However, perhaps because of the position, I am more concerned about the performance of Jalen Hurts. I think the Red Tide has found their quarterback."

Running back?

Please, any normal person knows that football should focus on the quarterback and only the quarterback. As for the running back, no matter how well he performs, he is still just... a running back.

I understand everything I understand.

From the beginning to the end, Jackson never really cared about the performance of the running back. No matter how good he was, could he beat Derrick Henry? Last year, the Heisman Award was given to Henry because he was only a freshman and was not mature yet. Don't even think about it this year. Not to mention that the Heisman Award is definitely impossible to be given to a running back for two consecutive years, let alone this year.

In Jackson's view, he needs to focus on Clemson's Watson, Oklahoma's Mayfield and other quarterbacks who may really impact him. There is really no need to waste time and energy on other players.

Running back?

Haha, this is a good joke, don’t tell it again.

However, the reporter still caught the disdain and sarcasm in Jackson's words -

Hurts is not a top quarterback from any one person's perspective. Maybe if he is given some time, he can grow into an excellent quarterback, but this year's freshman still seems too immature.

So, a reporter immediately asked questions.

"So how do you think Levi will perform next? Can he continue his strong performance?"

Maybe Jackson looked down on Levi and didn't take the running back seriously at all, but the Crimson Tide led by Shaban was another story.

The Crimson Tide still holds the top spot in the NCAA and is undoubtedly the strongest contender for this year's national championship. The Louisville Cardinals, who are still ranked third, are also aiming for their first national championship in team history, so Jackson has been closely following his opponents' performance all the way.

Jackson smiled meaningfully, with a hint of gloating, "Oh, I sincerely wish the Crimson Tide good luck in the next game, that..."

A pause.

Jackson swore that he didn't mean it, he really didn't know the running back's name, and it was a player who didn't need to be paid attention to anyway.

He felt that after all this time, he might never hear that name again.

"That boy." Jackson found a name that couldn't be more accurate.

The reporters looked at each other in bewilderment. Even an idiot could understand the hidden meaning in the words. However, they did not continue to ask questions and immediately moved on to the next question.

"This week, the No. 1 seed Alabama will play against the No. 7 seed Tennessee; at the same time, the No. 3 seed Louisville will also play against the No. 5 seed Clemson. Do you have confidence in this game?"

A fierce battle is coming.

The Red Tide Storm is about to face a tough battle, and the strong clash between Louisville and Clemson is even more eye-catching. At present, the two major Heisman candidates, Jackson and Watson, are about to meet, and all the media are excited. Unlike when Levi was just mentioned, Jackson's whole spirit is obviously lifted at this time, and the murderous aura can be felt in his eyes——

Watson, this is his opponent.

"We will be victorious."

Jackson looked the reporter in the eye and expressed his confidence word by word.

As the reporter prepared to continue asking questions, Jackson repeated it again.

"We. Will. Win."

straightforward.

Really loud.

Then Jackson walked away without paying any attention to the reporters.

The contrast in attitudes before and after is self-evident.

In a flash, reporters surrounded Levi at the Bryant-Denny Stadium as he was about to leave for an away game and immediately brought up the topic.

"Levi, who do you think will win this week, Jackson or Watson? What will be the result of the head-to-head match between the two top candidates for the Heisman Trophy?"

Levi: Huh?

I don't understand. Levi didn't catch up. Who were those two people? He seemed to hear Heisman candidate, so it was... quarterback?

Reporters saw Levi's confusion and had to explain the whole story. "Jackson thinks the Crimson Tide has continued to play great games during this period, but he thinks Hurts' performance deserves more recognition than yours."

I see--

Fan the flames.

Levi immediately saw through the real intention behind the ambiguous words of the reporters in front of him. So, the media public relations war for the Heisman Trophy selection has already begun before the season is even halfway through?

Everything is a game.

"They need to fight for their own victory, and we also need to fight for our own victory. I think the game should not be played with the mouth, otherwise I should be preparing to compete for the Super Bowl now."

puff.

Looking at Levi's confident and calm words, he easily shifted the focus, and the last teasing even caused a low laugh.

However, the reporters were not so easily fooled. One fell down and the other stood up again, and someone immediately asked questions.

"You played against Watson in the previous warm-up match. What do you think of Watson's level? How does he compare with Hurts? Can he compete for the Heisman Trophy? Do you think Watson can beat Jackson?"

There is no doubt that Jackson is really hot this season, showing top level in both passing and running, even better than Watson, who led the Clemson Tigers to the final of the National Championship last year. Countless reporters have discussed the two quarterbacks together.

Now, it's Levi's turn.

Levi raised his eyebrows slightly, "Hey, give me a bottle of beer and a plate of peanuts, I'm on the same side with you guys."

The united front of the spectators.

After saying that, Levi turned around and got on the bus, leaving behind a bunch of people calling "Levi" but getting no response.
