Chapter 135 134 Key Figures
"The game is over, the whole match is over, University of Alabama easily beats University of Washington to advance, advancing to the final showdown of the national championship for the second consecutive year, Saban's team still remains undefeated this season..."
"In this game, the rookie running back Li Wei continued his excellent performance for the Crimson Tide Storm with 193 yards on the ground and two touchdowns, continuing his strong season."
"Last season, Crimson Tide Storm running back Derrick Henry recorded historic figures, amassing 2,219 yards on the ground in fifteen games and scoring an astonishing 28 touchdowns, completely rewriting the Southeastern Conference records."
"Among those, Henry's most incredible record was scoring at least one touchdown in each of the fifteen games throughout the season, which was truly remarkable."
"However."
"No one had anticipated that just one year later, Henry's incredible historic record, believed by many to be unbreakable and unrepeatable within the next decade, would potentially be broken."
"Li Wei, up to this point in fourteen games, has already pushed for 2,003 yards on the ground, not only continuing Derrick Henry's miraculous record of scoring at least one rush touchdown per game of the season but has also accumulated 26 touchdowns so far, just two shy of the record."
"There is one game left, and anything is possible."
"But in my opinion, whether he breaks the record is no longer the point, because the biggest difference between Li Wei and Henry is that Li Wei is not only an excellent running back but also an outstanding decoy and strategist; his presence enriches the Crimson Tide Storm's offensive tactics, allowing players like Jacobs, Hertz, and others to excel."
"This Crimson Tide Storm is not only the most dominant offensive group in the NCAA this season but also the most authoritative in the history of the University of Alabama, setting new highs with average points per game and their multi-faceted offense possessing unbelievable explosive power."
"For a team, a player like Li Wei has far greater value..."
Blah blah blah.
The Peach Bowl is over, and the University of Alabama Crimson Tide Storm convincingly beat the University of Washington to claim the championship, facing the fourth-ranked team of the season in NCAA, Saban's team still demonstrated powerful dominion, which was impressive; yet, in the post-game discussions, Li Wei still dominated the hot topics, which speaks volumes.
In front of the TV.
Rivera's expression was stern, his brows furrowed as he stared at the screen, hands crossed over his chest, silent and unblinking, until a knock on the door came.
"Come in," Rivera yelled.
Noticing Shula's arrival, Rivera still didn't shift his gaze. "Mike, what do you think? How about this running back?"
Although Shula had been the head coach at the University of Alabama ten years ago, he was primarily a quarterback coach, with his skills and talent centered around quarterbacks, not running backs. Frankly, he didn't think he was qualified to comment.
However, as the offensive coordinator, Shula was aware of the problems the Carolina Panthers had faced this season; Newton was taking on too much pressure and firepower—
Newton needed a pressure release or a decoy.
Shula thought for a moment, "Personally, I prefer Fournette from Louisiana State."
Rivera slightly lifted his chin, revealing a hint of confusion.
Shula explained, "Fournette makes a good meat shield."
Rivera laughed, "No, Mike, we don't need a meat shield; we need a weapon that can bring out the diversity of our offensive tactics."
Shula, "You mean Running Back Levi is that weapon?"
Rivera nodded, "Look at Hertz's abilities; he is still too young and too green. Not to speak of the future, at least for now, he isn't even a third of what Cam is. But with Levi's presence, Hertz's abilities would be fully unleashed. If Levi were alongside Cam, our offense would undergo revolutionary changes."
Shula could hear the excitement in the coach's words, "Coach?"
Rivera nodded again in affirmation, "We need to get him. No, we must."
Shula read between the lines, "Coach, then the question now is, should we win against Tampa Bay or lose?"
A win or lose, for the Carolina Panthers at this moment, was beside the point, but when it came to draft position, that was a different story.
Rivera understood, he took a deep breath, "Mike, could you find out Jacksonville's intentions? I see they're also getting restless."
The NFL season hadn't ended yet, but a storm revolving around the draft was already brewing.
