208 Psychological struggle

“35:14”.

At the end of the midfield, the University of Missouri, who played away, was far ahead and showed super strong absolute hard power. It seemed that it was not on the same level as the previous opponents of Kansas State University. It completely grasped the initiative of the game and marched towards victory.

Objectively speaking, the University of Missouri is indeed strong. Even if Lu Yiqi comes to command the game, the situation cannot be completely reversed.

First of all, the offensive team.

Quarterback Chase Daniel was later a undrafted rookie in the league. He has been with the New Orleans Saints, Kansas Chiefs, Philadelphia Hawks and Chicago Bears. Although he is not a starting quarterback, he can serve as a substitute on the team many times, which itself shows that he has certain strength.

In the 2007 season, Ches Daniel shined in the NCAA field and played the best season of his career. He ranked fourth in the Heisman selection at the end of the season, losing to the final winner Tim Tebow, the son of the choice. He showed outstanding abilities in both passing and running.

In fact, Chez is a traditional pocket quarterback, and passing is undoubtedly the biggest weapon. Although he is not good at running skills, his excellent athletic talent still makes him dare to run out of the pocket. He occasionally chooses the reading option to attack, which is indeed unpredictable - in today's game, the Wildcats' defense team suffered losses.

In addition, Ches has a strong arsenal, tight end Martin Rucker, running back Tony Temple, and wide receiver Jeremy Marclin. All three players who successfully entered the professional league. Rucker and Temple are both players in the Secret Service Group, while Marclin is the absolute main force.

Marclin, a freshman this year, has excellent athletic talent and is competent for wide receivers, running backs and quarterbacks. He has shown outstanding abilities in different positions, and his receiving ability and breakthrough ability are particularly dazzling. He has easily become the number one superstar in the offensive group just as soon as he joined the team.

In 2009, Marklin was selected by the Philadelphia Hawks in the first round with the 19th pick and was later selected for the Pro Bowl.

The Tigers' entire offensive team has balanced the passing and running. Although the ground offensive strength is relatively weak, Chez's reading option offense makes up for the shortcomings in running back ability. Coupled with the excellent passing and offense, it creates sufficient conditions for ground offense, which ultimately forms a good cycle.

This season, the Tigers are all ranked first in the Big 12 League.

The second is the defensive team.

Overall, the Tigers' defensive team's strength can only be considered mid-level. It not only lacks stars, but also lacks tactical changes. However, the victory lies in solidity and stability. Even if it cannot create more opportunities on the defensive end, it will not be completely defeated by the opponent. The lower limit is relatively high, and then the game will be ended by your own offensive team.

The biggest star in the defensive team is safety Williams Moore, a player with a tough defensive style. He was selected by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round in 2009 and was later selected for the Pro Bowl. From the entire career, he has made a ball drop and completed interceptions and is good at strong confrontations.

In addition, linebacker Sean Witherspoon, defensive tackle Lorenzo Williams and cornerback Brock Christopher can also be regarded as key players, at least in this game - although they did not find a place in the professional league later.

The defense team made targeted adjustments, with linebacker Witherspoon, cornerback Christopher, and safety Moore forming an iron triangle formation and jointly targeting the Wildcats' Nelson.

Nelson, who has created miracles this season, has become the key care of various teams. In the last game, Pres tried to reduce the burden on Nelson, but in the end he handed over the ball to Nelson again; and the University of Nebraska's defense was unable to suppress Nelson. Now, the University of Missouri has succeeded.

The Tigers' defensive team's performance was not outstanding. At least the Wildcats successfully scored two touchdowns, but they did not collapse in a huge way.

This is victory!

From its own strength to its tactical layout, the University of Missouri has indeed taken the lead.

So, the situation in the first half came to a state of "35:14".

So, if Lu Yiqi adjusts his tactics, how will he deal with it? From offense to defense, the Wildcats face all tests.

For the same problem, Pres is also thinking about the halftime break, he must make adjustments; but how to adjust is also a problem.

"Bao! Wildcat!"

"Bao! Wildcat!"

The Bill Schneider family stadium is still cheering at the top of their lungs, unswervingly believing that his team can continue the victory momentum.

Fans can feel that the team's offense and defense seem messy and clumsy, and there is no previous sense of fluency. However, the belief in ten consecutive victories is still firm and determined. No matter what happens or what difficulties, the team can return strongly in the second half and win again.

"Bao! Wildcat!"

Before returning to the locker room, Pres turned his head and glanced at the stadium in front of him. The deafening cheers came to his face, like a summer rainstorm.

So, how should Pres adjust?

He tried to prove himself, he tried to take over the game, and throughout the first half, he was doing his best to schedule on the spot, but he never took the initiative.

In fact, Pres knew deep down that time was still too little—

He did not think that his professional ability was inferior to Lu Yiqi. On the contrary, he believed that Lu Yiqi's fancy tactical changes were just tricks for young people and had no possibility of promotion at all. Once he was familiar with and adapted by his opponent, Lu Yiqi would be exposed. But the current situation is that he was not able to control the team, and the players were not able to digest tactics in the intensive schedule. Instead, he was used to Lu Yiqi's combat methods.

Time is his real enemy.

The same is true now.

There is only one halftime break, how should he adjust?

The head coach is not a magician, so it is impossible to simply adjust two tactics or shout two slogans, and then magically reverse the disadvantage.

Pres felt a little headache and a little palpitations. Did he really ask for help from Lu Yiqi?

No!

Absolutely impossible!

The thought only showed a little sign, and Pres cut it off directly. He had to rely on his own ability to solve the problem, but time... time, damn time, Pres only felt a little disappointed, as if everything was against him.

Damn it!

"Mr. Pres." A voice sounded right in front of him. Pres raised his head and saw Lu Yiqi coming towards him.
Chapter completed!
