In the stands, the male editor looked at the tense situation on the field and unconsciously clenched the pen in his hand.

At the end of the half, although the Cardinals' abandoners did not play, the Wolverines also struggled to bite the score and control the score gap between the two sides within one possession.

Throughout the first half, Alex maintained a very high form, making 11 of 15 passes, 4 of 6 in three gears, winning 110 yards of passing distance and one passing touchdown, and was not intercepted or dropped, and the performance was perfect.

This form is even better than his regular season results. His scalpel-like passing containment helped Mariotta take a lot of pressure off the ground, and in the first half, he scored a 42-yard rush to give the Wolverines a shock.

There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, Leonard has to take care of the first-line defense against Mariotta's marking, and also take into account Alex's far-reaching blows, which can be described as taking care of one and losing the other, and ending the two.

"Whew, whew, whew......"

Leonard gasped for breath, he had only played nearly two quarters in this game, and it felt like he was playing a game as usual.

Once again, the opposition attack advanced to 30 yards of their half, and it is inevitable to drop points again, but how many points are conceded is another matter.

"Dean! Keep an eye on the other party's number 14! ”

At the moment, Leonard can only help his defense on the front line by believing in his teammates and being able to defend against the opponent's deep blows.

But judging from the previous offense, Dean's marking effect is not so good, and this No. 14, that is, the lackluster wide receiver Dantward, has already received four catches and advanced from 55 yards.

He's a fourth-grader, physically superior, faster than Dean, and more agile than him. After defending several times, Dean suffered repeatedly.

"Eric, you are ready to rush, I always feel that the other side must have an idea."

Although it was a three-yard short-yard offense at the moment, Leonard had to be wary of the opposing side being caught off guard by a long pass. The battle of wits between the lineback and quarterback largely begins before kick-off. If the opponent guesses his intentions, this attack will largely fail.

Leonard thinks that his hunch is still very accurate, not to mention that Alex is going well now and will definitely play more aggressively.

Once the attack began, Alex first made a fake pass with Mariotta, and then, as Leonard expected, prepared a long pass to Dentward.

Fortunately, Eric quickly rushed from the side and disrupted Alex's passing rhythm. After taking the best chance, he had to avoid a tackle and had to pass the ball to the near end of the middle, who had already been targeted by Leonard and was immediately tackled to the ground after receiving the ball.

It's still three gears and three yards, and this offense is finally defended. If you were an ordinary person, you should be dancing on the grass to celebrate, but Leonard felt so exhausted that he almost collapsed, and he didn't want to say anything.

After both teams switched to the special service group, the Cardinals scored another 3-point 3 with a 48-yard free kick to take a double-digit lead at 13-3.

"The other party's firepower is too fierce, we can't defend for long, it's up to you next."

After leaving the game, Leonard patted Yifan on the shoulder. Since he became the head of the defensive team, there haven't been many teams like this that have made him feel difficult.

In the regular season, he had seniors by his side to help with, and the pressure was not very great. But now not only does he not have these backers, but he also has to help the junior new players wipe their butts, and this sudden change of identity makes it difficult to turn around. If it weren't for the previous games, he would have collapsed by now.

But he also knew that the more this time, the more he had to grit his teeth and persevere. As long as you survive this most difficult run-in stage, whether it is the next practice match or the regular season next season, there will definitely be no problem.

"I can't imagine that the Wolverines are so tenacious in defense, they feel like they will lose the ball a few times, but they have survived from the critical moment again and again, it really makes people wonder, are they really a new team?"

Singer had not watched the Wolverines play, so he was surprised by the performance of the team and others. In his opinion, it is not easy for the Wolverine, as a newly formed team, to get here.

On paper, the offensive front line composed of Alex, Mariotta and others of the Cardinals is not surprising even if they score 20 points at this time, and the Wolverines only let them score 13 points, which is already extraordinary.

"They're not as fluid offensively than they are defensively. With a minute and a half left, the two teams combined for four timeouts, which is still enough time for the Wolverine. ”

Although the current situation is that the Cardinals have the advantage, Moric is well aware that a 10-point difference is nothing. As long as the offense can score, it is not known who will die.

"There's still time! Play one or two ground pushes as a containment, and the pass focuses on Pfister first. ”

Coach Johnson kept emphasizing that it was only half time, and as long as he kept a good attitude and scored points steadily, the pressure in the second half would not be so small.

"Bang!"

With the opponent's kick off, the ball arcs in the air.

On the first two kick-offs, in order to avoid Izebour, a terrifying return attacker, the Cardinals' kickers can be described as using all their strength, either kicking directly out of the touchline or kicking into the touchdown area, not giving the Wolverines a chance to return to attack.

But this time, due to the impact of a strong gust of wind, the ball that was supposed to be kicked into the touchdown area swayed in the air a few times, but it fell headlong and landed on the field.

It's just that the ball didn't land well, it didn't fall into the hands of Isopur, but into the hands of Matthews, a first-year student near the right touchline.

In the first half, Matthews also played a few attacks, but his physique and experience doomed him to show little. Four times on the court, only once with the ball, that was not yards.

Seeing that it was this first-year man who came back to attack, the Cardinals players breathed a sigh of relief. If Izebuble were allowed to take the ball back from 30 yards, he would probably have to be knocked down twenty yards.

Matthews was already yardage when he received the tee. So he didn't have any burden in his heart, so he pulled up his legs and ran forward.

It's just that at this time, the opposing defender has rushed in front of him and is about to give him a tackle immediately.

Although he is a first-year student, every running back has his own pride, and he basically did not play in the first half of the offense, his body was very stiff, and he was also holding a breath of European anger in his stomach.

At this time, his speed has already risen, he feels that his body is getting lighter and lighter, and in the face of the oncoming defenders, he does not hesitate at all, his body shakes, and the familiar Z-shaped change of direction is used.
