267 Strong Opening
One digit ten digits.
After Freeman kicked off, he found Banks on the inside of the left wing with a quick short pass. The four-yard short pass was very fast, and he did not leave Hayward for a further raid. He completed the pass with a knife.
Banks on the inside of the left wing and Murphy on the outside of the left wing made a wall-to-wave cooperation, rushing towards the center of the left wing. His sprinting with all his might seemed like an "X" route, but his steps turned back at the intersection and returned to the running route on his side.
Murphy intercepted cornerback Coleman's backup defense route, while Banks faced linebacker Thaddeus.
Thaddeus's footsteps were pulling horizontally with all his might. He did not lose his attention and always aimed firmly at Banks. However, Banks's return running route passed his prediction, and the center of gravity was still rushing forward horizontally, which formed a dislocation with Banks' "going left to right".
Thaddeus staggered for a moment and tried to catch Banks, but he could only watch Banks slide out of his fingertips with grievance.
Push the ground! Emergency stop! Adjust!
Banks raised his hand and grabbed the football in his hand. With his right foot as the center of the circle, his left foot pushed the body counterclockwise, instantly shook Thaddeus away, rushed out diagonally toward his right side, and continued to sprint with the ball.
Thaddeus had no idea of any follow-up, and he staggered to follow, but to no avail, and could only watch Banks get farther and farther away.
If another linebacker had not joined forces with the safety guard to quickly complete the encirclement, Thaddeus's misalignment might have become Banks's single ride with a thousand miles.
Despite this, Banks still evolved the four-digit short pass into a fifteen-digit advancement.
Another ten yards.
Freeman cooperated with running back Lamarck Brown with fake fax running tactics. With his outstanding performance in the past three games, Lamarck replaced Johnson's starting position and made his debut today as the Wildcats' starting running back. Although his personal ability is only average, Lamarck and Freeman's tactical cooperation is very good, just like now.
After Lamarc and Freeman completed the handover, both of them bent down to hold the ball, using their bodies to cover up the football in their arms, interfering with the defense team's judgment, and then pulled horizontally from left to right, running towards the slot routes on both sides of the offensive front line, making a ground rushing posture.
Although defensive end Hayward made a judgment immediately and aimed at Lamarck without making any judgment mistakes, the Oaks' linebackers had no idea of the Wildcats' tactical intentions and were firmly led to the nose, and a fatal loophole appeared in the entire front line defense.
Lamarck faced Hayward who was rushing towards him, not afraid or timid at all. Seeing that Hayward was unstable due to his entanglement with the offensive front line, he not only did not dodge, but also actively hit him, sinking his shoulders, bent his knees, rushing forward, and hitting Shanghai Ward with his shoulders hard.
Bang!
The two sides had a strong head-on collision!
Hayward, holding his breath, exerted all his strength, and the fierce impact directly knocked Lamarck's helmet away. However, Lamarck, who was ready early, was not panicked at all. He gritted his teeth and endured all the strength, and then adjusted the center of gravity while regressing and turning, completing an incredible turn, and continued to advance staggeringly.
A burst of exclamation arose at the scene!
Although Lamarck's pace was completely disordered and the center of gravity could not be adjusted at all and could not be sustained, thanks to the Oaks' defensive team's misjudgment, he still stumbled forward and rushed forward for a few big strides before falling to the ground, cornerback Malcolm followed and confirmed the dead ball.
A full ten yards! Lamarck fell on the first offensive conversion line! He won the first offensive for the Wildcats again!
"Excellent! Really wonderful!"
"From tactical cover to defensive prediction and route selection, the Wildcats' offense since the opening of the game was really eye-catching! Kansas State University has made complete preparations for this game, and its performance was particularly strong at the beginning. On the contrary, Ohio State University, which has more experience, is somewhat inadequate and has not been able to get into the state for a long time."
"Now the Wildcats have arrived at the opponent's 35-yard line at halftime! The Oaks' test is getting worse and worse!"
From the perspective of tactical arrangement, the offensive team led by Lu Yiqi has indeed adjusted its tactics - using Zhongzhe as a breakthrough.
Nelson vs. Malcolm, who is physically advantageous, and Murphy joins Banks vs. Coleman, the cornerback has a relatively average ability, but the starting speed is always a little slow, and his judgment of the game situation is also a little slow. Murphy is good at confrontation, Banks is good at speed, and continuous cross-running can easily form a breakthrough.
Of course, the important key that cannot be ignored is that the Oaks' linebacker team is full of loopholes, the strongest Laurentis is prone to missing the tactics, and Thaddeus' defensive predictions are always prone to problems. They are all better at physical confrontation, rather than tactical replacements or joint defense.
This is also the reason why Lu Yiqi dispatched Murphy to the outside of the left wing - the central area keeps the line flexible and avoids positional warfare; at the same time, the positioning of Coleman can also allow Murphy to gain the upper hand.
Generally speaking, other teams will choose to pass long passes when they play against the Oaks because the lack of safety is the loophole they put on the table.
But Lu Yiqi has different considerations. First, the Oaks are very good at putting pressure on the frontcourt, and Hayward has excellent ability. Choosing a long pass means that the quarterback holds the ball for a long time, which can easily give the Oaks more time to put pressure on the front line. Second, Freeman's long pass accuracy is indeed a headache. The tactical arrangement is a little in place. Choosing a long pass is equivalent to a wild dance of a wire rope, which is too risky.
Therefore, Lu Yiqi did not choose to pass the long, but made full use of the gap in the middle pass area. On the one hand, he accelerated Freeman's shooting speed to change the offensive rhythm, and on the other hand, he faced the cornerback head-on, waiting for an opportunity to seize the loopholes of the weak security guard to complete the attack. At the same time, he also assisted different styles of running ball tactics to disrupt the second-tier defensive rhythm.
Judging from the opening stage, the Wildcats' tactical execution was very resolute, and they caught the Oaks off guard. Tresel, who was standing on the sidelines, did not make any adjustments - he was also not sure how the defensive tactics should be adjusted for the time being.
Traisel felt a little bad. This is how Oklahoma lost the game in the Big 12 Championship. Ohio State University does not want to repeat the same mistakes. So, what should he do?
But before Traisel could think of a solution, the Wildcats' tide attack swept over again.
Still ten digits in one yard.
"attack!"
After the kickoff, Freeman took steps back continuously, swept the whole game but failed to find the pass target as soon as possible. With this little delay, Hayward had already tore his pocket and stepped forward again, appearing in front of Freeman.
This time, no other player stopped Hayward and Freeman, and the sack was close at hand.
finally!
Chapter completed!
