"0:7", at the end of the first quarter, the score on the field remained the same, mainly because the strength of both sides' offensive groups was excellent, and the time they stood on the field exceeded expectations. When the Wildcats' offensive group appeared again, they got two consecutive first attacks, and then the game time in the first quarter was exhausted.

But no matter what, Kansas State University successfully blocked the University of Oklahoma in the first quarter. Compared to the lockdown, what is more important is that the defense effectively clamped down on Bradford and Murray's performance, forcing the Aerodroppers' offensive team to find their form for a long time, so both sides came to the current situation.

For the Wildcats, this is a smooth start, and the overall trend and situation are still expected.

However, they also know that it is impossible to completely let the Earser team silence the entire game. At least the Wildcats' defensive team's ability is not enough; therefore, the key to the Wildcats' continued initiative is that the firepower of the offensive team is what they are best at.

In other words, this will be a battle against the enemy.

In the opening stage, the Wildcats' defensive team took advantage of the fact that their opponents were not yet firm in their foothold and gained some lead for the home team with efficient and high-energy defense. This is already very rare. Next, it depends on whether the offensive team can defend the advantages created by their teammates.

The combination of Freeman and Nelson's partner is not disappointing - or rather, the offensive group trained by Lu Yiqi after he started to work hard has indeed completed its essential transformation this season.

After Jacob successfully intercepted Bradford, he won the Wildcats a starting position for the offensive three-yard line in the front of the end zone.

In fact, this is a very embarrassing position, because the quarterback must stand in the end zone to kick off, and once the attack makes a mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable:

If the opponent's defense team creates interceptions or drops here, for example, the passerby controls the ball after the ball is dropped, then the touchdown will be directly reached; if the opponent's defense team creates a dead ball here, such as sacking quarterbacks, or grappling running backs behind the line, then a safe point will be formed.

The so-called safe points are the third scoring method other than touchdowns and free kicks. That is, the defender will hold the ball in the end zone to form a dead ball - quarterback, running back or wide receiver, etc. As long as the ball holder is forced to fall to the ground and die in the end zone, a safe point will be formed, with the score of two points.

Moreover, unlike free kicks, touchdowns, the ball will be lost after losing safety points.

Overall, the proportion of safety points is relatively rare, and touchdowns and free kicks are still the main scoring methods in rugby games.

But rare does not mean it is not important. On the contrary, the attacks at the frontiers of the end zone are full of crises.

Simply put, when a football forms a dead ball in the end zone of the offensive group, if the offensive group holds the ball, for example, the quarterback is sacked and fell to the ground, but the quarterback still controls the ball, then it is a safe point; if the defensive group holds the ball, for example, the quarterback falls after the sack and is controlled by the defensive group, then it is a touchdown.

In other words, the attack at the front of the end zone can be said to be a step-by-step murderous intent.

Therefore, when the special service team is driving or punting, it is often seen that the party responsible for kicking the ball does its best to force the party receiving the ball to form a dead ball near the end zone. The ultimate goal is to let the opponent's offensive team stand at the front of the end zone to start attacking, which can create an advantage for the defensive team.

The name of the "red zone" is also due to this, because a little bit of trouble can lead to points loss when approaching the end zone. Standing in the red zone of the offensive group, the offensive group must face precarious difficulties; standing in the red zone of the defensive group, the defensive group must face a trembling crisis.

Just like now.

Although Jacob completed the interception, after the interception, Manuel's timely grapple forced the Wildcats to start attacking from the top three yards in the end zone, which was truly a terrifying step by step - this is also the charm of rugby. If you don't pay attention, the Earls can immediately turn the dilemma.

However, the Wildcats did not give the Earser chance.

Lu Yiqi designed an offensive tactic ingeniously. After the kickoff, Freeman directly handed over the football to Lamarck - Lamarck Brown, who shouldered the heavy responsibility of the second half in the last game, and then Freeman evolved into a small expert in the opening line. In addition to the roadblock of offensive tackle Kenneth Mayfield, Lamarck successfully won a narrow path to advance on the left.

If you just use Freeman to open the road and disassemble it, it can only be considered a small accident and cannot be called a "surprise", let alone "ingenious".

The real ambush also lies in the coverage of the line running of the receiver.

Banks and Murphy both pulled towards the central area, making full use of their running routes to interfere with the defensive players' judgment; while Nelson's disassembly of the needle was a masterpiece. At the critical moment, he appeared on the right side of Lamarck, intercepting the route of the two linebackers running horizontally, winning less than half a second of breathing space for Lamarck. Then Lamarck jumped out like a loach, tearing out a gap.

In the end, Lamarck not only rushed out with a first attack, but also rushed forward for twenty-one yards, dragging the Wildcats out of the mud in the red zone with one move.

The entire studio couldn't help but scream, "Excellent! Absolutely wonderful! The Wildcats' offensive tactic design is indeed very clever. Noah once again showed his layout ability to the entire NCAA. The Earser defense team could not keep up with the rhythm at all! A wonderful offense!"

Continuing this momentum, the Wildcats' offensive team's advancement smoothly from the first quarter to the second quarter. In the end, Freeman made a raid and passed the ball with a fourteen-yard pass to find Nelson. The latter threw away two sure-loss grapples, completed the subsequent run in one go, rushed into the end zone, completed a twenty-three-yard pass touchdown, and won another goal for the Wildcats.

“0:14”.

As the home team, the Wildcats showed their determination to win and were ahead of their opponents in tactical preparation and layout. Stups felt the pressure.

In the penultimate week of the regular season, Kansas State University played against the University of Missouri. Their intensive defense against Nelson achieved good results. However, the Wildcats still found a way to reactivate the offense and finally defeated their opponents successfully. The University of Oklahoma also watched the video of the game-

But obviously, Stups was unable to find a more targeted defensive tactic, but instead was a little sloppy. Nelson was released again, Banks, Murphy and a number of substitute rotation players continued to perform well, and the Wildcats' entire offense was revitalized.

Since the opening, the Earsers defense team has not yet found a way to curb their opponents.

Compared with the score, the tactical restraint and bond between the two sides confronted each other is the most serious problem that Stups is facing now. He realizes that he must make adjustments.
