"41:38".
Whistle! Whistle-whistle!
The game was over, and the away team, the Kentucky Wildcats, won a buzzer-beater field goal against their century-old arch-rivals, the Louisville Cardinals, taking home a victory.
The game was definitely a roller-coaster ride filled with dramatic twists and turns, but in the end, the Louisville Cardinals lost in a last-second defeat for the second week in a row.
"Ah, ah ah ah!"
The Kentucky Wildcats players all went crazy, completely crazy, cheering, jumping, roaring, and celebrating their victory without restraint.
Jackson's knees gave way, and he knelt down straight away:
What happened?
How could they have lost? Not only had they lost two weeks in a row, but also to teams currently unranked in the NCAA?
However, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't find an answer. His brain buzzed and buzzed, stretching on and on, with countless question marks nearly overflowing.
After the game, the stats comparison—
Kentucky Wildcats quarterback, Stephen Johnson, made 27 passes with 16 completions, 338 passing yards, three touchdown passes, and one interception.
Louisville quarterback, Lamar Jackson, made 25 passes with 16 completions, 281 passing yards; attempted 25 rushes, rushing for 171 yards, and scored two touchdown passes and two rushing touchdowns, with three interceptions.
The answer was clear.
Success and downfall were both Jackson's.
Throughout the game, Jackson tried to prove himself with an all-out assault, both passing and rushing, balancing twenty-five passing attempts with twenty-five rushing attempts, but his passing yardage fell far short of the virtually unknown Johnson, the main reason being his long passes were inaccurate.
Not only reckless but also lacking in passing skills, his errors directly contributed to three interceptions, leading to three turnovers and squandering the team's every effort.
But no one could blame Jackson.
This was the Louisville Cardinals' way of playing, with all the pressure of victory and defeat squarely on Jackson.
At the very least, they no longer hold the initiative.
An abrupt turn of events!
Just two weeks ago, the Louisville Cardinals were hot favorites to win the title, but now they have completely lost the initiative, and whether they can advance to the nationwide championship relies on others—such a stark contrast from heaven to hell can hardly describe Jackson's feelings at this moment.
Of course, the season hasn't ended yet; there are still two weeks of games left, and each victory or defeat can upend the situation. At the very least, the Louisville Cardinals cannot give up hope; they first need to win these two games to qualify for discussing other possibilities.
Countless gazes are, once again, converging on Jackson.
Yet.
Kneeling on the grass, Jackson can't afford to pay attention to others at this moment—his mind and sight are filled with Li Wei, Li Wei, Li Wei. So, what will Li Wei say this time?
In the post-game interview, when Jackson learned that Li Wei had clenched a fist to cheer for him, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood, gritting his teeth with red eyes.
Humiliation.
True humiliation!
On the one hand, Jackson has been completely wrapped up by the media, his mind preoccupied with Li Wei.
On the other, thanks to Saban's decisive actions, the harassment and attention of the media were completely blocked from the doors of Crimson Tide Storm, allowing the players to settle their minds.
Clearly, Li Wei's mind doesn't have any room for Jackson—he doesn't care about Jackson or the situation of the Louisville Cardinals. It's one step at a time, one game after another, with the only focus being the next opponent and giving it his all.
What Jackson, what Watson, what Heisman Trophy selection—they all take a back seat.
Top to bottom, Crimson Tide Storm is united, marching forward with conviction.
