On September 8, the Kansas State University Wildcats were at home to face the visiting Spartans of the San Jose University at the Bill Schneider Family Stadium.

This was the Wildcats' first home court in the 2007 season, and the Bill Schneider family stadium was full.

Compared to Jordan Harry Stadium, which opened last week, the Bill Schneider Family Stadium can only be regarded as a medium-sized stadium with a capacity of 50,000 people, which is nothing for the football game that is the No. 1 sport in the United States; but in a small city like Manhattan, Kansas, it is already very considerable-

It must be known that the permanent population of Manhattan is less than 50,000.

In other words, even if all the permanent residents of the entire town are mobilized, the Bill Schneider family stadium cannot be fully filled.

However, as one of the only two NCAA-class division teams in Kansas, the Wildcats' attention and popularity are naturally extraordinary, and the attendance rate of home games can always exceed 90%. Every game day, residents of nearby towns always drive to Manhattan to watch the game in person, regardless of wind and rain. This enthusiasm has been passed down from generation to generation, just like family culture.

This is even more so today.

In the season opening game, the Wildcats completed the Jedi reversal again after four years, beating the Tigers, which performed well last season. This is undoubtedly the hottest and touching topic in the past week. Through word of mouth, the fans' emotions were mobilized and they came to the home court to express their support.

Then, the Bill Schneider Family Stadium was full. There were 50,000 seats in the venue, and there was no clearing in the local area. The large area of ​​purple people outlined a thrilling magnificence, just like being in the endless purple color of the Provence lavender field, involuntarily wandering in it.

And the fans were not disappointed.

"Ahhhh!"

"Ahhhh!"

Banks scored an unparalleled touchdown, completely igniting the enthusiasm of the Bill Schneider family stadium. Roars and cheers spread continuously. The purple ocean rolled out into storm waves, and the misty purple color spread all over the sky and the earth. Even the blue sky was light rose red. The beautiful scene completely lost the color of the language and clearly outlined the fanaticism of the Wildcats fans.

The reason is simple. The wonderful performance of the Kansas State University Wildcats is hard to suppress the excitement and excitement.

"This is already the second touchdown in Kansas State's first quarter! Freeman found Banks with an eighteen-yard pass, and the Wildcats' dazzling offensive running route made the San Jose University Spartans defense completely unable to keep up with the rhythm! Then, Banks completed another 31-yard long-distance run, winning the home team with this forty-nine-yard pass touchdown! It expanded its lead at the Bill Schneider Family Stadium."

"The Spartans seem to have not adapted to the atmosphere and rhythm of away games. They have already lost two touchdowns in a row, and they have not been able to enter the game on both ends of offense and defense, which instantly widened the gap. For the Spartans, the situation is very bad and very serious."

"In this game, the Wildcats, who played at home, showed an absolute strong attitude of determination. They quickly entered an excellent state from the beginning, suppressed their opponents and delivered dominant performances on both ends of the offense and defense, which really did not leave too much room for the Spartans to react."

"The interim head coach who was ordered to lead the team to complete the Jedi reversal in the last game seemed to have finally adapted to his new identity in this game. The Wildcats' entire tactical system must be much clearer and clear. The front-line pressure of the defensive team performed well, and the offensive rhythm and intensity of the offensive team were also completely renewed. Now less than seven minutes have passed in the first quarter, and the home team has firmly grasped control of the game."

"Although the overall strength of the Spartans at San Jose University is relatively weak, not as good as the Auburn Tigers, the game progress is beyond expectations. Wow, although the Kansas State Wildcats are now reborn, they have indeed shown some new things and something worth looking forward to. This is undoubtedly a very, very interesting thing. I can't help but wonder what this interim head coach did?"

Although the game was not broadcasted on TV this week, local radio stations in Kansas broadcast the game live, conveying the live game in the form of radio waves.

"What we can be sure now is that the Wildcats' offensive rhythm is improving, and Josh Freeman's business gathering time has been significantly shortened, allowing the offensive team to always maintain a high-speed operation. The combination of short passes and mid-passes, as well as the running ball assault. The entire offensive rhythm is firmly controlled in the hands of the home team, which makes the Spartans' defense team not have enough time to respond effectively, at least from the moment, the rhythm of both sides is not on the same level."

"The Wildcats' subtle changes are really interesting and worthy of careful observation; however, now we must first focus on the Spartans, who are facing serious situations and must think about solutions as soon as possible, otherwise they will be fully at the opponent's pace and there will be no chances in this game."

The content of the radio commentary is partly correct, but partly not.

The Kansas State University Wildcats did show a new posture, but both the offensive and defensive teams are far from reaching the tactical level. In addition to inevitable mistakes, some bumpy deviations are also prone to occur during the execution operation.

In the opening stage, the majestic momentum and support voices of the whole audience made the young players' adrenaline burst and their attention was highly concentrated. This made the Wildcats gain the upper hand in the first three waves of offense and defense, and easily gained a "0:14" lead.

As the game deepens, both physical strength and energy will inevitably decline. At that time, there may be errors in tactical execution. The situation will not be so easy at that time.

However, Lu Yiqi is not afraid of chaos. "Train with competition instead of training". In fact, competition is the best training. The tense atmosphere and severe situation can often maintain concentration, so as to maximize the effect of tactical execution.

Mistakes are not scary. What is scary is that your brain is confused and you don’t know where the mistake is or how to improve it. Then the game will be a disaster.

In other words, failure is not terrible, but if you cannot learn anything through failure, and you lose in a daze, that is the real coward. On the contrary, if you can learn lessons from failure, constantly improve yourself, improve yourself, and lay the foundation for the victory of the next confrontation, then the failure will have value.

Now, what Lu Yiqi lacks the most is time, and he is racing against time throughout the whole process; and the urgency of the game can improve the team's training efficiency. From this perspective, the San José Spartan, who has a balanced strength on both ends of offense and defense, but does not have too outstanding strength, is the most perfect match opponent.
Chapter completed!
