Chapter 120 Not worth mentioning


Chapter 120 Not worth mentioning

Auburn University and the University of Alabama are both located in Alabama. Since there is no NFL team in the state, the NCAA team dominates the hearts of fans. The two traditional strong teams are undoubtedly the base of Alabama fans. The most widespread and important existence with the longest history.

Naturally, the two teams met every year, more than once, initially in Birmingham, Alabama, which was a steel city comparable to Pittsburgh for a long time in the early 20th century. Origin of the name "Steel Bowl".

As of 2016, the two teams have met exactly 80 times, with the Alabama Crimson Tide temporarily leading the way with a record of 44 wins, 35 losses and one tie.

And now, the 81st Steel Bowl is about to take place.

The Steel Bowl not only has a long history, but also has countless strong rivalries worthy of being recorded in history, and has caused controversy, entanglements, and hatred for a long time.

History aside, the Steel Bowl has continued to heat up in recent years.

--2010 Steel Bowl.

The Crimson Tide storm once led "24:0" at home, but the Auburn Tigers' Heisman Award winner Cam Newton led the team to complete the greatest reversal in the history of the Southeastern Conference. In the end, Bryant took a "28:27" lead. -A win at Denny Stadium to keep the season undefeated and claim the Southeastern Conference title.

After the game, Auburn Tigers fans put Cam Newton's jersey on the statue of legendary Crimson Tide coach Bryant at the entrance of Bryant-Denny Stadium, which completely angered Crimson Tide fans; then, Crimson Tide fans went to Auburn. Poisoning a famous old oak tree in the town.

To this day, fans from both sides are still at loggerheads over the other's controversial actions.

-- 2013 Steel Bowl.

With the last second left before the end of the game, the two teams were tied at 28:28. The Crimson Tide Storm's freshman kicker Adam-Griffith was ready to try a 57-yard free kick. The ball kills.

Unfortunately, the free kick was a little too short, less than two yards from the goal, and almost missed the goal.

At that time, Auburn University cornerback Chris Davis, who was standing in the end zone, cleverly blocked his position, successfully caught Griffins' free kick in the bottom line of the end zone, and then started Attack back.

Davis overcame obstacles all the way, and finally completed an incredible 109-yard return touchdown——

The winning game.

"34:28".

The Auburn Tigers won the Steel Bowl that year.

This game wins next year's ESPY Game of the Year award - a selection that includes all games in all sports around the world.

In fact, after the 2010 Steel Bowl, the Crimson Tide Storm defeated the Tigers for two consecutive years; after the 2013 Steel Bowl, the Crimson Tide Storm defeated the Tigers for two consecutive years. Overall, the Crimson Tide Storm in the Shaban era had the overall upper hand; nevertheless, the Olympics This tiger is still proud of himself.

There is no other reason. The two soul-stirring victories in 2010 and 2013 are memorable enough for Auburn University fans to laugh at their mortal enemies.

This year is no exception.

For now, the Crimson Tide is ranked first in the NCAA and is striving for a complete winning season; the Auburn Tigers are only ranked 13th in the NCAA. From the lineup to the strength to the state, it should be difficult for the Auburn Tigers to stop the Crimson Tide this season. Winning steps, but a rival is a rival, and the Auburn Tigers don't see it that way.

Sean White, quarterback of the Auburn Tigers, is a junior this year and redshirted last year. He is not at the top level in the Southeastern Conference, but this is the Steel Bowl, and he is a player of the Auburn Tigers. As soon as they saw the red tide storm, they were so excited that they immediately jumped out and screamed.

"They are not worth mentioning at all. I am not exaggerating. That Chinese running back is garbage. We will let him know what a true professional-level defense is."

"Those clowns should be mentally prepared as soon as possible. Don't surrender their guns early again. They will be strong in the first half, but in the second half their legs will become weak, and they will fall thousands of miles. We will kill them again, and then they will find excuses to cry. ”

"Come on, let's look at the laws of history. The three-year time has come again."

White, very arrogant——

2010, 2013, 2016.

That's right, it happens every three years.

It was the same the previous two times. When the Crimson Tide Storm took the initiative to win, it was indeed a shame to be overturned by the Auburn Tigers. This is the case again this year. The Crimson Tide Storm are overwhelmingly optimistic about winning, but the Auburn Tigers have already Be prepared to be reincarnated once every three years and send the red tide storm to hell. The pain of their mortal enemies is their happiness.

Not only White, but all members of the Auburn Tigers showed high morale and confidence without exception, including head coach Gus-Malzahn.

"Rugby is a team sport. It's not as simple as one plus one equals two. We already have the key to victory. The Auburn Tigers will definitely have the last laugh. We are confident that we have the strength and we are ready."

United as one!

Before the game, there was smoke.

It's a pity that because of Shaban's ban, no players were interviewed by the Crimson Tide Storm, and they didn't even know that the Auburn Tigers players were talking nonsense there, so that the war of words couldn't start. In other words, the Auburn Tigers were there alone, and there was no return. The trash talk is really lonely.

"Stay tuned, we'll give the red tide storm a good scare."

Malzahn made harsh remarks in the pre-match interview, while Shaban expressed calmly.

"I'll look forward to it."

At the end of the game, Shaban was really shocked, and he was quite frightened——

Where does that guy's pregame confidence come from?

R-Kelly?

"I-believe-I-Can-Fly?"

The 80th Steel Bowl came to an end, and the final score was fixed at "42:6". The Crimson Tide storm won easily.

The difference is obvious.

Since that desperate reversal in 2010, the Auburn Tigers have never been able to win at Bryant-Denny Stadium; this game also created the largest score deficit in the Steel Bowl since 2012.

In fact, if Shaban hadn't been recuperating for a series of subsequent championship games, starting to rotate the main lineup in the third quarter, and even using the substitute lineup in the fourth quarter, I'm afraid the score gap would have been even greater. Auburn The Tigers may also get a clean sheet.

The whole game was basically a one-sided crushing. The Crimson Tide Storm showed their absolute strength and suppressed their opponents on both offense and defense, leaving this century-old enemy in disgrace.

How arrogant he was before the game, how useless he was during the game.

It can be seen from Shaban's actions in the second half that he doesn't even bother to humiliate the Auburn Tigers.

While the Auburn Tigers were jumping up and down there, Shaban had his sights set on more important events, and there was little value in humiliating the Auburn Tigers.

This is the real humiliation.

Auburn Tigers quarterback White was almost invisible throughout the game, making 15 of 32 passes for 98 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions. The statistics were very pitiful.

In stark contrast, Levi was as relaxed as taking a walk in his back garden, running the ball for 187 yards, scoring two touchdowns, and clocking out early.

The Auburn Tigers simply couldn't guard Levi, not to mention Levi, Jacobs and Clark were also in a state of no one.

then.

After a while, the Crimson Tide storm easily won the Steel Bowl and ended with a victory. They won all 12 games in the season and continued to rank first in the NCAA.

Today’s fourth update.
