Chapter 190: Facing Heads (3)

Seeing that the key third-gear offense failed to be defended, it gave the opponent a chance to continue to advance.

Cleon's eyes were full of hatred, and he stared viciously at the other side, exuding a vicious dog-like aura all over his body.

The reason why there is such blood is so bloody is not because of Louis alone.

Although collectively known as the Six Knights of the White Horse, he and Luiz have not had much intersection in the past, one of the two is a lineback, the other is a wide receiver, and they are not together, and there are not many opportunities to train together.

Coupled with personality reasons, both of them belong to the quieter type, and they will not take the initiative to do anything like Mariotta.

So even though several people often eat and party together, his relationship with Louis can be called friendly at best, but not intimate.

So even hearing the news that Louis had left them alone and had gone thousands of miles to the University of Michigan didn't matter to him.

There are two reasons for his anger, one of which is the historical relationship between the Cardinals and the Wolverine, which he has heard since he first stepped into school and came into contact with the Cardinals.

Stanford University was founded in 1891, and the Cardinals began playing college football in the year after the school was founded.

But this history is as young as a doll compared to the nearly 200-year history of the University of Michigan, after all, the Wolverines have a longer history of football than Stanford University.

But the Wolverines are in the top ten leagues, and the Cardinals are in the twelve-school league, and the two schools are not in the same division, so the chances of meeting are very rare, unlike teams in the same division, which meet every season.

But even though the chances of meeting were very slim, the two teams still got together.

Back in the middle of the twentieth century, the two teams met for the first time in the Rose Bowl.

At that time, it was their "future star" quarterback Cavendish who led the Cardinals to the Rose Bowl with a winning record in the regular season.

That year, Cavendish, who was already in his fourth year, successfully won the Heisman Award, the highest honor representing NCAA college football, at the end of his college career, and was called "the perfect existence" by the media and scouts at the time, both physically and technically, comparable to the league's stars. As long as he leads the team to win the Rose Bowl, he can enter the league with a perfect record and become a generation of stars, bringing supreme glory to Stanford University and the Cardinals.

But no one expected that this Rose Bowl match would become his last match.

Before the end of the first quarter, Cavendish was very the Wolverines while passing the ball, and in the huge impact, the defender's helmet hit Cavendish hard in the chest, and then the two men rolled on the ground several times in a twisted position.

The equipment of those days was not as advanced as it is now, and the protection of the players was not enough. Cavendish was too seriously injured to be rescued in the end, becoming the rising sun that died before it even rose, and also became the eternal pain of the Cardinals.

The Cardinals and Wolverines not only lost the Rose Bowl with 327, but also buried the top players that the school had worked so hard to cultivate.

In the decades since, the two teams, as the divisional powerhouses, have met a total of eight times in the Rose Bowl, and the historical record is actually 9-0 for the University of Michigan, without a single defeat.

Defeating the University of Michigan Wolverines has become an expectation of the whole team, and it has become the goal of every Cardinal player.

Another reason is that in their final game of the regular season, the USC Troy City team, the Cardinals lost to each other with a score of 3032 in that matchup matchup, which also disqualified them from competing for the Rose Bowl with an 11-1 record.

Although the Cardinals are the 100-year-old powerhouse in the division, their record in recent years has not been very good, and they have not won the division for several years.

The strength of the team is one thing, after all, you can't recruit strong new students every year, but luck is another thing.

The Cardinals had already assembled a strong lineup in the previous season, winning nine in a row, and finally wanted to challenge for the division title.

Unexpectedly, in the penultimate game of the regular game, their main quarterback was injured and finally lost to the University of Oregon, and the supply gave up a great opportunity.

This semester, it was not easy for core players such as Alex and Mariotta to grow up and begin to launch a new round of impact on the Rose Bowl.

Unexpectedly, at this juncture, he ran into the USC Trojans to make a "lightspeed running back" Johansen, who ran at a speed of 425 seconds in 40 yards, you must know that this speed is already much faster than most players in the league, and is known as the person most likely to break the 40-yard record in the physical test camp.

It was a very close game, with the score alternating upwards and the two teams fighting until the last minute.

Facing a tough opponent in the air, Alex led the offensive team and scored a magical pass touchdown with a minute and a half before the end of the fourth quarter to give them a 3,029 lead.

It was the closest the Cardinals had come to the Rose Bowl in years, but in the final moments, Lequeon's defense couldn't keep up, giving light-speed runner Johansen a chance to run wild. The opponent took 23 yards in one go and pushed the offense through the half.

Because of this, the Trojans killed the game with a free kick in the end, and the Cardinals once again blocked the door of the Rose Bowl.

After that defense, Cleon wanted to give up the game and leave the team because as soon as he closed his eyes, Johansen's back would come to mind.

It wasn't until the Raiders gave them a chance to qualify for the Wild Card that Cleon was reinvigorated. In every race since, he has proven himself with near-perfect performances.

"This time, I'm going to defend no matter what, defeat you, and then go to the stage of the national championship, find the Trojans, find Johansen for revenge!"

Cleon aimed at Yi Fan, although Izepur was domineering and powerful, but his speed was far inferior to Johansen, and if it was a simple power confrontation, he would not be too far behind.

For now, as long as he blocks Yi Fan's point, does not give her the opportunity to pass the ball and attack, and forces him to play ground battles, so that he can use his ability to defend the ground and help the team seal the victory.

Cleon's thoughts, Yi Fan is more or less clear, and Coach Johnson understands that at the moment, only if the pass attack is opened, the next thing to play will be.
