Lu Yiqi clearly knew how outstanding the talent and ability of the University of Oklahoma team was.

It is precisely because he knows it well that Lu Yiqi spent countless energy on making preparations before the game.

Judging from the progress of the game, the Wildcats successfully seized the lead in the opening stage and took the lead!

The pressure and raid tactics in the frontcourt were very successful.

The so-called success is not to completely shut down Murray and Bradford, but to bypass Trent's protection and continuously put pressure on Bradford.

The entire Wildcats coaching team reached a consensus: it is impossible to win the Earls, and it is difficult for Murray and Bradford to stop it and can only be curbed.

Murray's tough and tough ground running still successfully brought a lot of advancement to the Earners, and Bradford's short pass tactics still created many opportunities, which also allowed the Earners' offensive team to continue to advance - the hasty and panic of the first wave of offense really requires more warm-up time.

However, Bradford could feel the pressure on the front line accumulated layer by layer. Before the first quarter was over, he had already encountered a sack and two collisions. It seemed that every pass shot would inevitably feel the pressure on the front line. Even if the pocket protection was not broken, the air waves of the dark clouds pressing the village could be continuously seen in his vision to accumulate in the short pass area, and he was releasing dangerous signals at all times.

The invisible pressure is quietly affecting Bradford's passing judgment.

At the same time, the backcourt part is not calm.

The Wildcats unexpectedly allowed the cornerback and safety guard to retreat, extending the entire defensive needle and thread back, not only focusing on counter-defense, but also spending more energy on the long pass part, guiding Bradford to try more short passes and mid-passes, and change the offensive tactics of the Axers.

However, the cornerback and safety must be disassembled and cover and repaired to the top of the team in a timely manner, and the defense can be completed immediately after the opponent completes a short pass or a mid-pass to receive the ball, avoiding losing more yards.

Lu Yiqi understands Bradford's passing ability, and even under pressure, he has a certain level of passing, so he will not completely collapse; there is also a group of excellent wide receivers from the Wildcats' defensive second-tier team, which is difficult to achieve with the Wildcats' second-tier defense, or to gain the upper hand in the counter-defense defense.

So, at the Wildcats' tactical meeting, Lu Yiqi successfully convinced Pres:

The defense team targeted the heavy weapon of Bradford - long passes, but instead continuously drove Bradford to deliver football to short or mid-pass areas through changes in the defensive layout - that is, those areas that rely more on running route arrangement and tactical layout, weakening the talent advantages Bradford and the wide receiver have in physical confrontation as much as possible.

When Bradford is able to find gaps in short and mid-passes and completes the pass, he will naturally tilt his pass tactics.

However, the Wildcats' defense team did not allow Bradford to do whatever he wanted in the medium and short pass areas, otherwise Bradford's passing form would be unstoppable, so they would shoot themselves in the foot.

On the one hand, in the medium and short pass areas, passes can be released to allow the wide receivers of the Earls to complete the catch, but the focus must be on cutting off the continuous advancement after the catch.

The defense of safety and cornerbacks has made small adjustments. They choose to "lag defense", that is, wait for Bradford to make a decision before starting. The wide receiver can catch the football, but the safety and cornerbacks will not have any wrong judgment problems and can accurately complete the backup defense - as long as the step forward is timely enough, the defense success rate can be improved.

For the Earser offensive team, Bradford's pass success rate has increased, but the wide receiver's propulsion efficiency has decreased. This is the strategy of the Wildcats' defensive team.

On the other hand, the Wildcats also need to maintain pressure on the defensive frontline to ensure that Bradford always passes the ball under pressure, rather than strolling around in the garage to find the target - when the propulsion efficiency decreases and the passing pressure increases, Bradford can feel the pressure of double pressure.

More importantly, the front line also needs to defend the heavy weapon Murray, which is propelled on the ground. This is also the reason why the Wildcats only leave safety guards and cornerbacks in the second line. The linebacker joins the defensive front line and accumulates crowds on the front line, giving the front line defense enough attention and has an advantage in numbers.

At least from the opening stage, Lu Yiqi's right medicine has achieved miraculous results.

In the first wave of attacks, Bradford and Murray had not yet fully entered the state, and they struck out in a daze.

In the second wave of offense, the two star players slightly adjusted their state. Coupled with the adjustment of the Wildcats' defensive team, Bradford found a breakthrough in the short pass and mid pass areas, and the pass offense started to operate, thus gaining some space for the ground offense, and Murray began to wake up.

However, good times did not last long.

The attacking group of the Grabbles team scored four first attacks, successfully pushed the midfield and reached the opponent's 37-yard line at the opponent's halftime. Only one first attack can reach the free kick attempt range, which also means that Bradford is entering the offensive track he is familiar with.

In the second gear, eight yards, Bradford chose a fake handover after kicking off, using Murray as a cover, moved towards the side where Trent was responsible for guarding, and used his pocket steps to win enough time. Although the Wildcats still brought great pressure to defend the front line, this time Bradford was mentally aware and was prepared in advance, and successfully gained some advantage.

Despite this, an accident still happened.

Linebacker Hall and cornerback Cedric completed a crossover. Hall, who was supposed to be raiding, used his steps to shake off the offensive tackle Trent, but did not step forward, but instead restrained and entangled Trent. Then Cedric gave up his opponent's wide receiver and inserted it diagonally from the front of the side into the pocket. His unstoppable footsteps did not encounter any obstacles and rushed towards Bradford head-on.

Bradford anticipated Hall's actions, but did not predict Cedric's changes-

This is not a defensive tactic arranged in advance, but Cedric noticed that Bradford had held the ball for too long, so he immediately chose to take the initiative to step forward, preparing to continue to put pressure on Bradford in the frontcourt; as a result, this move unexpectedly triggered the previously accumulated sense of threat, disrupted Bradford's passing rhythm, and unexpectedly forced Bradford, who was worried about his sack, to pass the ball in advance.

Passing the ball in advance means that there may be some deviations in the shooting angle, the passing feel and the flight arc.

But Bradford chose to take a long pass this time. The original plan was to catch the opponent off guard and use a sudden long pass to the end zone. There was no problem with the plan and the first half of the execution, but the pass was not able to follow the plan at the moment, and the passing goal was discovered in advance.

The result is—

"Interception! Jacob Giesen successfully intercepted Sam Bradford!"
