At a time point in ten years later, NFL has four top elite quarterbacks: Payton Manning, Tom Brady, Drew Brees and Aaron Rogers. The top three players are all authentic traditional pocket quarterbacks.

Rodgers is an exception. In fact, Rodgers is also a traditional pocket quarterback, but he has outstanding athletic talent. Without a stable offensive front line protection, he began to improve his pocket steps, and his running ability was slowly developed in his career. He is the only quarterback among the four elite quarterbacks who can still maintain top passing ability after leaving his pocket actively.

But Rodgers's game style is still pocket quarterback, and the use of reading options offense is not common.

In other words, all four elite quarterbacks are pocket quarterbacks; among the new generation, the running quarterbacks have four well-known representatives: Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, Russell Wilson and Robert Griffin-3.

Of course, there are other new generations of running quarterbacks that have emerged one after another, and they performed well. But overall, because running quarterbacks are very exhausting, they are not the mainstream after all - the real responsibility of quarterbacks is to pass the ball, not run the ball.

Josh Freeman, due to his shortcomings in passing accuracy and the strong black physical fitness, also has the ability to run quarterbacks.

However, Lu Yiqi learned from Andy Reed, who is a genuine pocket quarterback training master. People in the league said that "no matter how bad and clumsy the quarterback can make some appearances in Andy Reed's hands." This has also become Lu Yiqi's style of coaching quarterbacks.

Facing the Cowboys' defensive team that was as brave as if they were in chicken blood today, the Wildcats' offensive front line was really hard to resist, forcing Lu Yiqi to find a different way to open the situation, which instead made Freeman find a feeling - reading options for offense is much simpler than passing.

As a result, the second quarter became Freeman's performance stage, and even Nelson was unable to steal his light.

At the same time, Lu Yiqi also made adjustments on the defensive end.

Press the entire line!

Everything from the second line to the front line started to rise, but the details were still different.

Defending the front line, the continuous step forward of the inside linebacker, teamed up with the defensive front line to create misalignment, and aimed at running backs in the form of multiple-man joint defense many times to continuously put pressure; and used the detour of the outside linebacker to create the illusion of pressure on the front line, but the real target is not the quarterback at all, but the running back and wide receiver.

Defensive second line, safety guards and cornerbacks pressed tightly in the frontcourt, forming a position by using counter-pointing and guarding. Although Huangqi fouls that "illegally interfered with the ball" caused by close-fitting tightness, the overall defense intensity and strength have been significantly improved, disrupting the running route of the opponent's offensive team.

The seemingly complex changes in defensive tactics, in fact, the core part of the real change is the misalignment between the inside linebacker and the defensive forward line, constantly changing the rhythm to disrupt the ground advancement of the running back; while other defensive tactics are still the routines that the Wildcats practice repeatedly this season, and it is not difficult.

But the results are very significant.

“17:17”.

In the second quarter, the Wildcats successfully scored the Cowboys, tied the score strongly, maintained a balanced state and returned to the locker room, successfully continuing the suspense of the game.

In the second half, the two teams did not disappoint the audience. The ups and downs of the game were comparable to a roller coaster, which put the audience's hearts under test.

In the third quarter, Cowboys quarterback Seth Newton stepped forward and, when he was almost sacked, got rid of two consecutive fall crises, completed the pass, sent a long pass of 41 yards, aimed directly at the end zone, and scored a touchdown, completely detonating the court, allowing the home team fans to have a carnival.

Although the Wildcats still responded with a 33-yard ground rushing touchdown, the game fell into the control of the Cowboys in this quarter. "24:34", the home team led ten and entered the final quarter.

In the fourth quarter, the Wildcats' Jody Nelson and Ian Campbell became the core figures on both offense and defense.

Campbell directly or indirectly created three sacks and one drop, mercilessly knocking Seth Newton back to its original form, allowing the defense to regain the rhythm.

Nelson completed seven receptions in front and back, pushing 122 yards, three of which were facing the extreme situation of being surrounded by enemies. He completed the reception with his teeth pulling his teeth and hitting his opponent with an absolutely tough performance, showing the bloodiness and tenacity of the Wildcats offensive team.

The Cowboys refused to surrender, and the ground was still making contributions like bulldozers, slowly but firmly fighting against the Wildcats.

"45:41", with the last fifty-three seconds left before the end of the game, the Wildcats overtook the first time in the game, taking the lead. Then the Cowboys offensive team made their debut again, and the moment of deciding the victory and loss fell on the Wildcats defensive team.

At the critical moment, Hall and Permeler of the Wildcats linebacker teamed up to complete a wonderful ground defense, closing the goal to intercept the Cowboys' No. 2 running back Julius Croslin, blocking the opponent at the 23-yard line at Oklahoma State University's halftime and successfully creating a ball drop.

Hall controlled the ball and declared the game over.

Unexpectedly, the Wildcats, which have always relied on the offensive team to win this season, have exploded with amazing cohesion after lacking Walker, ending the game in a "non-wildcats", taking away a victory from the away game, and continuing the unbeaten golden body of this season.

After controlling the ball, Hall stood up, pulled open his jersey, and showed the vest inside to the local TV station with a series of defensive teammates such as Permeer and Campbell. It clearly stated:

"For Reggie Walker!"

This arduous game is for Walker! Even if you are absent, Walker is always with the team!

Indeed, the pressure accumulated on the Wildcats is rising steadily. A little bit of deviation may lead to a defeat, but the beauty of competitive sports is that for some people, pressure may destroy the dam; for others, it can be converted into motivation-

Continue to move forward and continue to fight!

Obviously, the Wild Cats under Lu Yiqi belong to the latter.

After defeating the Oklahoma State Cowboys at "45:41", the Wildcats, who returned to the Bill Schneider Family Stadium, easily defeated Baylor, the oldest in history in Texas with a score of "13:51", won eight consecutive victories in the season and remained unbeaten to this day.

This is the first time in the history of Kansas State University that the team has achieved such a feat in its history. The entire campus and the entire city have entered a carnival state, and Lu Yiqi's reputation has risen steadily to a new high.
