Il contexto della corsa al Heisman
La stagione di football universitario è entrata nel vivo e con essa la race to the prestigious Heisman trophy. After the top prospect debates Boise State running back Ashton Janty, he will see one of the biggest stages in recent history. Con A body of 1,525 yards in otto partite, Jeanty si abvicina al record di Barry Sanders, fissato a 2.628 Hof nel 1988. Ma la sua strada verso il trofeo non è priva di ostacoli, pochiche le difese adversarie sembrano avere un piano ben definito per fermarlo.
Strategic defense against Jeanty
Boise State wide receiver Latrell Caples has recently shared his opinion on opposing teams’ tactics. Secondo Caples, le difese stanno investendo enormi energie per fermare Jeanty, a tal punto da sembrare che la vittoria della matcha non sia la loro priority principale. “The status of Ashton’s Heisman obstruction claim,” Capless said. This strategy, however, could turn out to be counterproductive, since the opposing teams lined up up to nine players in the ‘box’ to stop the running game, leaving spaces for the aerial game.
The consequences of tactical opponents
Questa attenzione particulare su Jeanty has opened an opportunity for other giocatori della squadra. Caples, ad esempio, ha beneficiato di questa situazione, registrando 90 yards received and three touchdowns against Victoria against San Diego State. La strategia delle difese adversarie, quindi, non solo mira termare Jeanty, ma puerde anche rivelarsi un boomerang, permettendo ai compagni di squadra di emergere. With Boise State currently in first place in the Mountain West Conference, the team is ready to face Nevada, with the goal of maintaining leadership and continuing the race toward the Heisman trophy.
