Super Bowl Domination

Chapter 97: Momentum
Humphrey was furious.

He noticed Fournette's figure at the first moment, and tried to shake off his opponent's wide receiver and quickly stepped forward to make up for the defense. As a result, the opponent stuck in his position like a sticky candy, and even suspected of pulling the opponent. This made Humphrey angry, but it also sounded the alarm and he quickly calmed down.

No fouls. Stay calm.

With an emergency brake, Humphrey forced the opponent to rush out by inertia, and the two men staggered their positions. Humphrey immediately started again and rushed out, staring at Fournette intently. It can be seen at once that Fournette entered a super excited state of complete oblivion and was unstoppable.

As a cornerback, Humphrey's primary task is to match up with wide receivers and occasionally running backs.

Humphrey could immediately see that in this state, Fournette could not be stopped by just one or two people, so they needed to cooperate.

What else?
Because the secondary defense is empty, the Crimson Tide may not be able to mobilize so many people, so there is no way to stop Fournette?
No.

There is a way, there is one.

Humphrey remembered the trick Derrick Henry told them. Facing such a blood-thirsty running back, ordinary tackles would not be able to stop the opponent. So, instead of a head-on collision, it would be better to destroy the running back's control of the football.

Running backs need to undergo professional ball protection training. Protecting the ball under pressure is a very important factor in measuring a running back.

Running backs need to be under pressure and confrontation at all times. If a running back cannot protect the ball and drops the ball every now and then, not only will he fail to complete the advancement but he will also lose the ball. No team will like such a running back.

The Crimson Tide, a traditional running back powerhouse, is naturally very aware of this. In daily training, Burns will arrange training to disrupt ball possession, allowing players to hit the running back's ball protector from above, below, and from the side, training the running back's ability to protect the football under different impacts.

So if you can’t stop the running back, stop the football.

Even if the ball is not compromised, the running back will sound the alarm, be distracted for a short time, and almost instinctively try to protect the ball. The unstoppable running posture will slow down slightly, or even leave flaws, increasing the defensive player's success rate in completing the interception.

Then--

Foster!
Humphrey's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, geniuses all have common ideas, and Foster has the same idea as him.

Humphrey immediately stepped forward, ready to assist Foster in completing the tackle, but he didn't expect that as soon as he started walking, he saw a flash of light rushing out.

Reddish brown!
Foster not only successfully intercepted Fournette, but also caused the fumble!
The entire Tiger Stadium came to a standstill in an instant. Hundreds of thousands of eyes were focused on that flash of light, with mouths opened, astonishment and fear invading their chests.

Start, step up, intercept.

Humphrey's second reaction was very quick. He swept the football into his arms like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. He had successfully held the football in his arms before it hit the ground. He protected the ball tightly and completed a 180-degree turn without pause, following the inertia of his body, and sprinted immediately without stopping.

Tap, tap, tap.

Push off the ground, start, and sprint.

Although Humphrey was a defensive player and unfamiliar with offense, he was fully into the game at this moment. With a quick glance, he took in the chaos before him.

Just now, the Crimson Tide's desperate pass rush tactic left the short pass area empty, creating space for Fournette's breakthrough.

But now, the Red Tide Storm's accumulation of a large number of troops on the front line of the two sides turned into an advantage, paving the way for Humphrey.

step.

Allen had already blocked the position and intercepted the Tigers' strong and fierce offensive line, and Humphrey rushed out without hesitation.

One, block!
Two, block!

The white figure of the Red Tide Storm built a dam in the purple mist of the tiger, and Humphrey could clearly see a passage in front of him.

To the end of the world.

Running, running, sprinting all the way. Humphrey seemed to have returned to his carefree childhood, when there were no toys, no internet, no TV, no game consoles, and nothing. But life was still full of fun. As long as he ran as fast as he could, feeling the wind passing through his ears, laughter would fill his chest uncontrollably.

I could almost hear the Crimson Tide's cry hovering over the huge Tiger Stadium for a long time, faint but tenacious, "Run! Humphrey, run!"

Selflessly, with all his strength and devotion, Humphrey increased his speed to the extreme. He could even clearly hear the blood boiling in his body.

On the right side, you can see a dagger sticking out.

It's Harris.

Maybe, as a quarterback, he still has a lot of room for growth; but as a player of the Tigers, at this moment he gritted his teeth and showed his iron-blooded fighting spirit.

Humphrey slammed on the brakes, stuck to Harris's tackle but lost his position, and turned clockwise, leaving the poor kid who didn't know how to defend, tackle, or position himself behind him, and the road ahead became clear again.

Nearly.

closer.

All the way, there was no obstruction. Humphrey opened his arms and jumped into the end zone, putting an end to this return attack.

The whole place was silent.

Same situation, different state of mind.

The home fans anticipated the start of this attack, but did not anticipate the final outcome.

Foster caused a fumble, which meant the ball was out of control and open for grabs. If the Tigers could grab it, it would still be considered a successful first-chance conversion.

However, once Humphrey has the ball, he can continue to carry it back until he touches down or scores a touchdown, or he fumbles it. If he fumbles it, the ball is once again unclaimed and open for contention, and whoever grabs it first gets the ball.

Fortunately, Humphrey did not let the chaos happen again, but scored a touchdown for the Red Tide Storm defense with a clean and neat gesture.

Fumble return for touchdown.

Ah!
Ahhhhh!
All the players on the Crimson Tide side went crazy, one by one they raised their hands high and made touchdown gestures, and the surging passion was burning.

However, Tiger Stadium was silent.

The freezing cold at home seemed to have no end in sight. Only a small flame of the away players was burning, weak but tenacious, lonely but fierce.

The game was completely overturned in just five minutes.

The Red Tide Storm completely reversed the situation. The offensive team first withstood the pressure and broke through the iron wall, opening up the situation with the momentum of siege and breaking the deadlock between the two sides.

The Tigers offense then launched a powerful counterattack, but the Crimson Tide defense showed its dominance at the critical moment, not only stopping the opponent but also completing the ball possession conversion and ending with a touchdown.

In one breath, before there was time to convert, the balance that had been deadlocked for three quarters was completely reversed.

Watching their arch-rivals singing and dancing in their own end zone, the home fans felt disheartened. After suffering a series of heavy blows, they were a little dazed for a moment.

But Humphrey didn't care.

After celebrating in the end zone, Humphrey turned around and found Fournette in the crowd, raised the football and pointed at him, then trotted to the edge of the field, stuffed the football into Levi's arms, and was the first to lead the booing.

"Ho! Ho ho ho!"
