The University of Texas is on the 42-yard line in the first half, Kansas State is ready to attack.

However, the start was not good.

With ten yards in one yard, the Longhorns' defensive team strictly covered all the lines in the short pass area, and only chose three people to rush through the pass, giving Freeman enough time to observe, but Freeman failed to find the pass route, and finally handed the football to running back James Johnson for safety.

But Johnson started the time too late, and he could not escape the net even though he was moving. He was only two yards and was caught and fell to the ground.

In the second gear, eight yards, the Longhorns defensive team took the initiative and sent seven players to pass, breaking through the pocket protection of the offensive forward line with an absolute advantage in numbers; the number advantage in football games is irreversible, and it almost broke the pockets at the moment of kickoff, and it sacked Freeman without any suspense.

Everything happened too quickly. Freeman tried to escape, but he had no chance at all. He was still in the process of retraction and was sacked.

Even outsiders can see that the Longhorns were angry and burst out with absolute hard power. The Wild Cats had no power to resist and were destroyed. However, Lu Yiqi was not panicked at all about this situation. To be precise, he had a different view.

On the one hand, it is indeed hard power, and on the other hand, it is a sudden outbreak. Two-pronged approach has created such a huge confrontation situation. Just like in the beginning of the first and second half, the Wildcats were always able to create opportunities unexpectedly, and the Longhorns just took the lead. The actual situation is far less bad than the surface, and the gap is not so exaggerated, and it is not as "destroying" as it is.

What is certain is that Mark Brown was indeed angry by Lu Yiqi: there was no tactic at all, just rolled up his sleeves and ignored the king and put on the bow.

Have strength and willfulness.

To put it another way, the Longhorns have the advantage of strength but are still so embarrassed. No wonder Mark Brown is popular.

Unlike short-term explosive sports such as sprinting or short-distance swimming, rugby is not a game that can be won by "relying on a concentrated burst of adrenaline in a short period of time". The long game time requires tactical layout. Even if it is a NCAA that values ​​talent more, it is impossible for the whole game to remain in a "superman state".

Therefore, Lu Yiqi was not worried about the sudden attack of the Longhorns. Instead, he peeked into Mark Brown's impatience.

Does being impatient mean a loophole?

"Freiman, do you still remember the tactical layout of the intermission?"

"Remember. But, coach..." But he had no chance to display it.

"No, but. Just execute it like this, shrink the entire formation! Notify!" Lu Yiqi's voice was decisive, and he decided to test it. If it fails, it would be just a strikeout; but what if it succeeds?

In his bones, Lu Yiqi also has the temperament of a gambler.

Augustus and Bullock exchanged a glance. They didn't understand what Lu Yiqi was going to do, and they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

What exactly is a contraction formation?

"attack!"

Freeman announced the kickoff, and the entire offensive front line began to retreat according to tactical instructions - not to fight the previous step; but to retreat and shrink pocket protection.

Although the Longhorns still sent five people to pass the ball, creating huge pressure, the violent collision they were expecting did not come as expected. Instead, it was because of the opponent's step back that the first collision directly hit the empty space. They had to adjust their steps, step forward twice, pressing step by step.

But in this way, the front line confrontation line contracted, like an iron barrel formation, and the five defensive front lines could not create enough advantages.

Moreover, running back Johnson never left in his pocket, which forced the Longhorns linebacker to follow and further put pressure on him.

Things began to get a little strange.

"Observe! Observe! Freeman is still watching with the ball! God, he has been wasting too much time. What is he doing in his pocket?"

"Freman is still adjusting his pace! His holding time has exceeded four seconds! But he still has no pass! The Longhorns defense team smelled the opportunity, and the defensive frontline put a huge pressure on it, dangerous! Danger! Freeman must pass the ball immediately! The pocket protection has completely shrunk, and there is no room! Freeman is facing a dead game, and he is about to collide with his teammates!"

"Pass! Freeman must pass! What is he doing? Was he scared? What is the situation?"

"God!"

Freeman is watching with the ball.

Yes, this is Lu Yiqi's tactical arrangement for the midfield break: extend the ball as much as possible, wait for the defender to take a step, and send the football out as long as he detects the danger. Nelson or Murphy is the priority. In a critical moment, James Johnson or others can do it.

This is a dance on the tip of the knife, completely playing with fire. The tactic of the second half of the opening game is to issue the ball as soon as possible and improve the offensive rhythm. This is a test of the accuracy of passing and is relatively simple. Now, delaying the ball is equivalent to using the quarterback as bait to guide the sharks around, from pocket steps to attack control and then to passing selection, all aspects are challenges and may be swallowed by the sharks at any time.

The worst thing? Just look at McCoy just now. If you have a slight deviation, then you will be intercepting.

Freeman felt that the coach must have lost his heart.

It was not that Freeman was unwilling to pass the ball, nor that Freeman was in a mess, but that Freeman was holding the ball for a long time according to the coach's instructions. Although Freeman was completely frightened now, he still did not violate the coach's instructions, but his muscles were tightened to the extreme because he knew that he was standing on the tip of the knife.

Tension and concentration make Freeman's vision particularly clear, and coupled with the active retreat protection of the offensive front line, it has indeed bought Freeman more time.

Freeman still didn't relax, he didn't forget his mission:

Pass the ball!

In a chaotic situation, the layout of the second line has become simpler - because the entire defensive line of the Longhorns is pressing, which also makes the wide receivers form a one-on-one with the defensive second line, and create gaps in the running route. This scene looks familiar.

In fact, it is the situation faced by the Longhorns offensive team under the continuous oppression of the Wildcats' defense team in the opening stage of the second half; but now, it is the situation that the Wildcats' offensive team has actively lured the enemy into the deep, and has won the advantage in the second-line offense and defense.

The true dance of the knife is like a slight deviation, and any slight deviation is bloody.

Freeman dared not neglect his attention at all. His only idea was to find an opportunity as soon as possible, complete the pass, and transmit the hot potato in his hand.

Then, Freeman could feel the scalp and sharp sting on his skin surface. He captured the opportunity from the bottom of his eyes. As the defender's arms were about to pounce on his cheek, at the critical moment, Freeman, who was mentally prepared early, was calmer than he imagined, and teleported out the football first.

Raise your hand! Pull your arm! Push it! Pass the ball!

Completed in one go!
Chapter completed!
