Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 83 A Thin Line Between

In the seventh week of the 2016 NCAA regular season, the focus games are one after another, the air is filled with smoke and the heat is constant, which is no less exciting than the NFL.

Alabama, currently ranked first in the NCAA, faced off against Tennessee, ranked seventh. The Alabama Crimson Tide faced a strong opponent for the first time because their previous opponents were not strong and the quality of their victories was questioned after their six-game winning streak.

Before the game started, there were countless discussions and analyses. Although Alabama was still favored to win, professionals generally believed that the University of Tennessee, which was in good form this season, could cause trouble for Shaban's team and become a touchstone for Levi.

however.

"49:10".

Alabama is in front and Tennessee is behind.

The game was completely messed up. The defending champion responded to all doubts with an absolutely strong performance and extended the winning streak to seven games in an unstoppable manner.

Levi stood silently under the spotlight and once again delivered a perfect answer:
180 yards on the ground. Three rushing touchdowns.

Levi teamed up with Jacobs and Clark to completely destroy Tennessee's ground defense. Everyone knows that the Red Tide Storm is a traditional running back school, but only those who have truly experienced it in person know what it feels like to face the Red Tide Storm running back group.

So terrifying.

The Crimson Tide running backs scored a total of five touchdowns, and their overwhelming performance left the Tennessee defense dizzy and breathless.

Originally, people were expecting a strong dialogue. Even if Tennessee couldn't win, it could at least test Alabama's status bottom line.

However, no one expected the game to be so one-sided. The suspense was lost in the first half. The ability displayed by the Crimson Tide on both offense and defense was on a whole higher level, making the seventh-ranked Tennessee look like a seven-year-old child.

The crowd who were waiting to watch the show returned home disappointed.

Fortunately, there is more than one game worth paying attention to this week, and the real focus is not here. People can always believe in "Jackson vs. Watson".

Watson, a junior, was a hot candidate for the Heisman Trophy last season but finished third. This season he has grown and upgraded across the board. Clemson, which was a strong team in the past few seasons, has taken it to the next level and transformed into a super strong team. Before the start of the season, it vowed to aim for the championship.

Jackson, a sophomore and a rising star, has transformed himself like a comet this season. His passing and running style is absolutely pleasing to the eye, winning the favor of countless fans. He has single-handedly brought the University of Louisville, which did not exist, to the top of the pyramid and become the favorite to win the championship.

Currently, the two teams are ranked third and fifth in the NCAA, with little difference; but no matter who it is, the throne of the Red Tide Storm is still stable. Anyone who wants to challenge Shaban's team must test the quality of the quarterback -

Offense, whose offense can break Alabama's shield?

This confrontation is just a preview.

Before the game, the two teams were engaged in a war of words, with smoke and sparks flying everywhere.

The competition lived up to expectations.

In the first quarter, the two teams wanted to win so badly that they performed poorly and made constant mistakes. As a result, no one scored, and the fans who were expecting a big offensive battle were very disappointed.

"0:0".

The intensity of this matchup can be felt from the score, but after this stage, both teams have completed the warm-up -

with full force.

"42:36".

The two teams combined for a total of ten touchdowns in the game, six passing touchdowns, four running touchdowns, and several free kicks.

Three minutes before the end of the game, the Louisville Cardinals were still leading 36:34, but Watson showed his courage and completed a -yard pass for a touchdown in the last wave of the game, and took the risk of trying a two-point conversion, which ended in Watson's victory.

Jackson, who has been smooth sailing and invincible so far this season, has encountered his first wall, and the Heisman Trophy odds and ranking have quietly changed.

Although Jackson still ranked first, Watson quickly narrowed the gap. The two were evenly matched, which undoubtedly became the biggest highlight of this year's college arena.

Jackson was also very frustrated, but he didn't expect that even more depressing and annoying things were yet to come.

"Who?"

Jackson couldn't believe his ears.

Why was he facing off against Watson, two of the strongest Heisman Trophy contenders, at quarterback, but he heard a running back's name in the post-game press interview?

Running back! That's a running back!
However, the reporter didn't care, and instead became even more excited when he saw Jackson's expression.

On one hand, Alabama won, and on the other hand, Louisville lost; on one hand, Levi's continued strong output won more and more attention, and on the other hand, Jackson ran into a wall in front of Watson. Jackson lost to Watson, and Watson lost to Levi. Rounding it off means Jackson lost to Levi?
Anyway, there is only a fine line between heaven and hell.

Now, reporters are eager to completely infuriate Jackson.

"In the seventh week, the Crimson Tide won. Levi rushed for three touchdowns. The top seed defeated the University of Tennessee with an absolutely strong performance. What do you think of this?"

Jackson took a breath, this... this is simply unreasonable!
He's ready to talk about Watson, he's ready to talk about his future matchup with Watson, he's ready to talk about the win and loss of this game and his feelings, he's ready to talk about the prospects for the Heisman Trophy, and he's ready to talk about what's next.

But, Levi?
What the hell is this.

The rational string in the mind of the young and energetic Jackson was broken because it was too absurd. As a result, he couldn't help laughing in anger.

"That's just Tennessee. There's no need to make such a fuss about it, right? Alabama didn't play Florida State, they didn't play Clemson, and I don't think their win was anything to discuss."

"Let me tell you, I don't think Alabama is the favorite to win. The NCAA rankings have never had any reference value. You will understand that."

"Don't forget, the last time they faced that team ranked 17th or 19th, they almost capsized, didn't they? In the next game, their so-called offensive powerhouse label will soon reveal its true colors. Believe me, it won't take long."

To the University of Mississippi, Jackson really didn't mean it.

He really wasn't paying attention and he really didn't care.

It was precisely because of this that, at this moment, when Jackson was besieged by reporters and asked Levi questions, it became increasingly absurd and infuriating, and he couldn't believe his ears.

A sound of burning anger came from his eardrums, and Jackson had to use all his strength to control his urge to explode and pull himself back from the brink.

"For now?"

"I don't care about other teams or other players. We will focus on ourselves, sum up the experience of this game, continue to improve and progress, and grow into a strong team."

"When the season is over, the championship will be ours."

Understated, but powerful.

Jackson meant it, 100 percent.
