"Kansas State University's Spear VS Ohio State's Shield", this is the core focus of the 2007 National Championship, and is known as a "war of contradictions."

Overall, the Wildcats and the Oaks are relatively balanced teams, and both the offensive and defensive teams have shown their abilities, which is why they can rank among the top two in the United States; but relatively speaking, the Wildcats' offensive team ranks higher than the Oaks, while the Oaks' defensive team ranks higher than the Wildcats.

Going further, the Wildcats rely more on the offensive team to win games, while the Oaks rely on the defensive team to finalize the victory at critical moments.

In Lu Yiqi's view, the same is true - the Oaks' defensive team is the core key.

The Ohio State University defensive team in front of me is ranked first in the United States this season, which is definitely not a false reputation! They have two top superstar players.

Defensive end Cameron Hayward and cornerback Malcolm Jenkins are two players who played head-on in the opening stages of Freeman and Nelson.

Hayward is a freshman this year, but he has shown outstanding talent on the defensive end, and his frontcourt raids and ground defense performance are particularly eye-catching; later, he also continued his talent and ability to the professional arena. In 2011, he was selected by the traditional defensive team Pittsburgh Steeler, and gradually became an important part of the "Steel Screen".

Two Pro Bowls, one for the United States and one for the next, and, until the history that Lu Yiqi is familiar with, he is still a stable member of the Steelers' defensive team.

Although Hayward is a little immature now, he is still a little impatient in terms of timing, raiding degree, etc., and is often prone to exerting too much force and causing him to miss the best opportunity, but his strong physical talent and natural sense of crisis have successfully made up for the loopholes in his lack of experience.

Malcolm is a junior, and his experience and ability are growing rapidly. In 2009, he was selected by the New Orleans Saints at the 14th pick in the first round, and then transferred to the Philadelphia Eagles. He followed two teams to win two Super Bowls. He is both an important member, and was selected into the Pro Bowl three times in total and was shortlisted for the second team of the United States once.

This is a traditional but not traditional cornerback. The so-called tradition mainly means that his body is light, speed, explosion, agility, etc. is more outstanding, while his ability to fight, impact, stalemate, etc. is weak; the so-called non-traditional means that his body is too light, even comparable to a wide receiver, 6 feet (183 cm), 204 pounds (93 kg), and even among the wide receiver, he is a small external connector of speed.

However, no one can underestimate Malcolm. His positioning ability is excellent. He can always get stuck in position in advance and constantly interfere with external receivers. In addition, with his accurate judgment of the timing, his interception ability should not be underestimated, and he must be taken seriously like an assassin.

In addition to two Pro Bowl players, the Oaks' strengths are still in the defensive front line and cornerback, while their weaknesses are in the linebacker and safety.

In fact, in the entire defensive team, Vernon Gholston, Kurt Coleman, Thaddeus Gibson, James Laurinaitis, Donald Washington III, etc., they were all players who later entered the professional league and were able to stay on the roster.

Objectively speaking, even if you lose the rookie, even the special service team and even the sparring team, as long as you can gain a place in the professional league and work hard for a while, you will all be players with skills. At least your physical talent has exceeded the average level of the NCAA.

The same is true for the above players.

In terms of physical ability, the Oaks' defensive team is indeed profound. In addition to the shining of two star players, Shanghai Ward and Malcolm, it is not surprising that they can lead the national defense team data this year; however, in addition to their physical talent, their tactics are really lacking.

The Oaks' defensive front line and cornerback both use tough physical confrontation tactics - just like Malcolm defends Nelson, which allows their physical talent to be fully utilized, and their front-line pressure, ground defense, and short pass defense are all excellent.

The linebacker and safety guard lacked guidance from clear tactical commands, and also relied on physical confrontation, but lost the advantage because of the function of the defensive position; at the same time, the linebacker and safety guard did lack individual soldiers with outstanding abilities. Later, the best in his career was linebacker Laurenettis, who was selected by the St. Louis Rams in the second round pick in 2009. He was selected by the St. Louis Rams. He had good abilities, but he missed the grapple and misjudgment problems.

In a nutshell, this is a defensive team with great overall talent and ability and relying on star players to shine, but the changes in defensive tactics are very limited.

reason?

Head coach Jim Tresel is a quarterback. He is best at offensive tactics, while there is insufficient changes in defensive tactics - this seems familiar. Not long ago, the head coaching situation at the University of Oklahoma was reversed. In the final analysis, they all rely more on player talents to complete the game, and there is a lack of drastic innovation and changes at the tactical level.

Now serving as defensive tactics on-site command is defensive coordinator Jim Blackcock, who has been at Ohio State for twelve years, this is his third year as a defensive coordinator and a traditional coach with a retro style. He has many similarities with Latimer.

Of course, they didn't need these changes to easily win most games in the NCAA. It's just that, they all met Kansas State University.

To be more precise, they met Kansas State University after Lu Yiqi's transformation.

The Wildcats coaching team reached a consensus that the Oaks defensive team is the top priority, and they must break the opponent's thinking framework in terms of offensive tactics.

So, in the first wave of offense, Lu Yiqi made a bold attempt on tactical changes, using Freeman's active exit bag to disrupt Hayward's raid rhythm, and using Nelson to eat Malcolm raw with his physical advantage-

In fact, the best choice for single-handed Malcolm is the tight end. The tight end who plays with physical advantages can easily create advantages and get one for sure. However, the Wildcats lack outstanding tight ends in the team, so they can only be replaced by Nelson in the end.

Overall, there are not many changes in the passing line and tactics. They are more focused on the matchup. Even if the first pass is not successful, at least the Wildcats will convey a message to their opponents: offensive tactics will never be done step by step, so you better be vigilant.

really!

Freeman and Nelson successfully completed the connection, successfully advanced for twenty yards, and gave the Oaks a strong warning, but this was just the opening.
Chapter completed!
