Chapter 113: Bowl Race (4)

"Ball conversion! Oh, my God! The Trojans' defensive team did a great job tonight! It's unbelievable! ”

"The Lions' offense was completely limited. It can only be said that the USC defense is too tough tonight. Let's see another fierce side of them besides Brooks. ”

On the TV broadcast, the commentator was very excited to analyze the situation of the game.

Several interceptions and the creation of dropped balls were replayed again and again.

It has to be said that the Trojans have been very successful defensively, especially against the Lions' quarterback Baines, who has not given him a respite almost from the first offense.

Under the huge defensive pressure, maybe once or twice, it can still be withstanding. But after repeated several times, flaws will eventually be revealed.

After all, the people here are only in the third and fourth grades.

Mentally and physically, they are still a long way from being professional.

Even though the Lions fans were hysterical, and even though Lions Jackson did his best in the face of Brooks' almost perverted offense, in the end, the game was locked at 30-0.

USC Trojans win!

They held up the rose bowls.

Be the first to qualify for the National Championships.

And as the representative of the top ten leagues and the champion of the division, the Nitani Lions can only swallow the bitter fruit silently.

On this meadow, people will always remember the winner, only celebrate.

The name of the victor will forever be engraved in the history of the Rose Bowl.

And the loser, no matter how well you play, no one will remember.

Yifan and they watched all this silently, at this time, their mood was not much better than that of the Lions players.

The glory of the Ten Alliances, the undefeated king of the Ten Alliances, was slaughtered in this way.

In the last game of the regular season, they have tried their best to squeeze out the last trace of strength, and the opponents they have not been able to defeat have been trampled under the feet of others so easily. Anyone who reads it will not be in a good mood.

However, there is not much time left to sort out his mood.

After the bowl, it's the wild card game, and their battle is just around the corner.

Now, it is nothing more than the last calm before the storm.

Before the NFL playoffs arrived, several major bowls were decided.

The teams participating in the national championship are also slowly becoming clear.

At the Celebration Bowl, the University of Oklahoma Legacy, the 12-school league division champion, defeated the Auburn University Tigers, the runner-up of the Southeastern Conference, 24-0.

In the orange bowl, the University of Miami Hurricanes, the runner-up in the West Division of the Southeast Conference, won the runner-up of the Big Ten League, the University of Wisconsin Badgers, 37-24. At this point, both teams in the Big Ten League lost the game and fell into the lower bracket, competing with the other teams who lost the bowl game for a spot in the National Championship.

In the Honey Bowl, the George's University Bulldogs, the Eastern Division champions of the Southeast Conference, won the Clemson University Tigers, the Atlantic Division champions of the Atlantic Coast League, 23-4.

Finally, in the BS Bowl, last year's national champions, the traditional giants, and the University of Alabama Red Tides, the champions of the Southeast Conference West Division, defeated the champions of the Atlantic Coast League's Coast Division with a 43-0 clean sheet.

The winner of the five bowls will receive a direct spot in the National Championship.

The five losers will compete for a national championship spot with the three best teams in the league in addition to the 10 teams.

In addition, the independent academy and the U.S. Naval Academy Trainee Sailors have been confirmed to participate in the national championship, although they do not belong to any league, they are also super strong.

On top of that, the last remaining spot in the National Championship will be out of 64 wildcard teams.

"There's no time to worry about other people, what we have to do is try to win the Wild Card Game and qualify for the National Championship."

Coach Johnson rearranged at the meeting.

When Luiz returned, the coaching staff put him on the bench and trained and adjusted.

With his current body, it will be difficult to recover to the peak of last year. But with his level and strength, it's definitely no problem to play at critical moments.

At his suggestion, Yi Fan and he formed a training partner to help him recover. On the one hand, the two have practiced together for a period of time, and their passing and receiving habits are relatively clear. The other is because Yifan is not the main force, and he has more free time.

"Was last year's Wild Card Game going to be intense? Which team won in the end? Yi Fan asked Luis as he warmed up.

As a participant in the National Championship, he knew nothing more about the Wild Card Race.

"Last season, most of the wild cards we participated in were the divisional runners-up and runners-up, like the Spartans and the Louisiana State University Tigers. In the end, it was the Stanford Cardinals who came out of the sea of blood and won the spot. They were runners-up in the Pacific 12 and were not qualified for the tournament, but were recommended by the Los Angeles Rams to play in the wild card game. ”

The Stanford Cardinals, a traditional powerhouse of the Pacific Twelve, beat the Wolverines the year before to lift the Rose Bowl that year.

Last year, they lost to the University of Oregon Ducks. Failed to participate in the Rose Bowl. However, they showed their toughness through the wild card tournament and squeezed into the national quarterfinals.

"If they had run into us last year, they would have been beaten flat. When you think about it, it's a good thing that you didn't make it to the bowl. Louis joked.

"They are best known for their special services, both as punters and kickers. And their quarterback is also very special, suitable for Australians, called Nisside. Luis added.

For college teams, neither the economy nor the manpower can be as comprehensive as the NFL.

Therefore, most teams will choose to focus on the offensive or defensive group, and adopt the principle of "enough is enough" for the special service group.

There are a few exceptions, like the Cardinals. They value the Secret Service as much as they do on offense or defense. Therefore, at a critical juncture, it is often relied on kicking the ball to kill the game.

"They didn't make it to the bowl this year, and they were afraid they would show their faces in the wild card game. If you're unlucky, you'll run into them. ”

Luiz recalls the last time he played them, he was just a freshman, he didn't even get a chance, and watched the whole game as a substitute.

Unexpectedly, time passed in a flash, and I was about to be in the fourth grade. In the year he was rested due to injury, he did two things the most, the first was reading books, and the second was watching games.
