Chapter 134 133 In vain
Knees, slightly trembling.
Browning took a deep breath, straightened his knees, and clenched his fists silently telling himself:
This is an illusion, it's all just a frightening illusion. There's no need to fear the Crimson Tide Storm; the opponents are merely paper tigers bluffing their power—they are capable and ready to defeat them.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
They were ready.
However, the Crimson Tide Storm had its doubts: Really?
Sometimes, you think you're ready but you're not actually ready because self-comfort can lead to deception making you blind to the truth, at which point an observer is needed to remind you of the reality.
Like now, the Crimson Tide Storm was prepared to play such a rational role.
First gear, ten yards, Browning's "face lost its color", feeling his knees tighten.
—The Crimson Tide Storm, too, chose to blitz.
Just a simple four-man blitz without a numerical advantage, but the entire momentum and intensity were completely different. Barely after the kickoff, Browning could already see Allen's crimson eyes tightly focusing on him like a shadow.
Browning did not give up.
Dodging left and right, shifting and moving.
Browning tried to shake off the crisis and enact a miraculous comeback, using his own legs to carve out his path. He still hadn't given up on the possibility of passing; but hardly had he started moving when he felt a mountainous force crashing down on him, rendering all his adjustments and movements ineffective.
Boom.
The world plunged into darkness—
Sack!
Allen sacked Browning, cleanly cutting off the University of Washington's offensive opportunity with a violent and brutal blitz, forecefully pinning Browning to the ground.
Browning was left dazed and confused.
In such a storm, there wasn't even room to breathe.
First gear ten yards turned into second gear eighteen yards, instantly doubling the pressure.
The key question now was, how could they wake up from this nightmare?
It was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
For the University of Washington, the real difficulty lay in the offense, which had been highly praised within the Pacific-12 Conference this season but was completely exposed before the Defensive group of the University of Alabama, with both their passing and running games ineffective and unable to open up the situation.
Browning was in a very embarrassing position, even he was puzzled:
How had the first wave of offense been conducted?
If they couldn't open up the situation on offense, it also meant the University of Washington had to constantly deal with the pressure of a scoring deficit, increasing the pressure on their Defensive group because they couldn't afford any mistakes, otherwise they would fall into an even worse predicament.
Moreover, since the University of Washington typically had stronger pass defense than run defense, they now had to face the multi-faceted ground attacks from Li Wei, Jacobs, and Hertz of the Crimson Tide Storm, consistently losing balance.
Little by little, they fell into a vicious cycle.
Baker, as a Safety, was also helpless, he couldn't freely change positions and defensive tactics like Jamal Adams, the Safety from Louisiana State University; he could only fret in the backfield.
Unable to defend, even though Baker was desperate to support his teammates, if they couldn't defend, they simply couldn't. He watched helplessly as the University of Washington's defensive formation was devoured and overrun, ultimately losing all advantage.
All their efforts and struggles seemed like vain flailing, even though they didn't want to admit it, everything was in vain.
"28:7".
By halftime, the defending champion had already taken a significant lead in controlling the game.
Nevertheless, Saban didn't make extensive substitutions like he did during the regular season, as this was a bowl game, not only was the opponent different, but the nature of the match was different as well; in the second half, he still kept the main lineup on the field to continue controlling the game.
However, Saban's tactics were relatively less aggressive and less risky, focusing more on consuming time to control the game, gradually pushing the University of Washington into dire straits, defeating them as if slowly boiling a frog.
The University of Washington only managed to exploit a lapse in the University of Alabama's focus to score another touchdown in the fourth quarter, but it was already too late; the game had lost all suspense and just drifted to an end.
"37:14".
The full game ended, the defending champions defeating the University of Washington effortlessly and advancing to the nationwide championship finals for the second consecutive year—
The season remained undefeated.
So, the question arises, who will the University of Alabama face in the finals?
