Chapter 212 New Business 5 (1/2)

Jake saw the opposing team advance 37 yards before making the punt, so the attacking team along with Jake would finally have their chance to play, they would start from the 30-yard line, so had to get 7 runs to get to Endzone.

The play suggestion was a race with the RB that was on Jake's left, Jake decided to try this play and called the play with much more confidence than in the first practice after Hut Jake received the ball and handed it to the player RB that was on the left.

The RB ran to the left trying to get out of the opposing defensive line, even though Jake thought both of his team's RBs were too fast, before being knocked down he managed to advance 4 yards which was very good to get the first down.

After the team quickly organized to start another play, again they would try a race, Jake received the ball and went to the left RB again who managed to advance 7 yards this time getting the first down for the team in the game.

After a few moves Jake realized that the opposing team's defense was actually much lower than the Elite team's defense that Jake always had to face in training, only with the races did they get after many moves to advance more than 50 yards and less to go of 20 to reach Endzone and get the touchdown.

Even though sometimes Jake had to change the suggested moves he didn't need to make any passes for the WR, but in the last 20 yards, it seemed that the opposing defense started to improve suddenly and in the first 2 races they could only advance 4 yards.

So on the third try the assistant said it was time for Jake to try a pass, Jake got excited and after receiving the ball from Center began to analyze the play, the recommended play was with the left WR, but both WR they were well defended on the routes they ran.

Jake saw that the RB was also well observed by the opposing defenders, so within seconds Jake realized that he had no choice in this play, so he saw that he could be able to advance himself with the ball from the left.

When Jake started running an opposing DT player had just passed the protection of his teammates, if Jake took another minute he would no longer have a chance to try the race.

Jake managed to run trying to get as close as possible to the left sideline, he had a good run and managed to catch his opponents off guard and was knocked down after advancing 11 more yards.

He was happy to get down after the move but was upset when he realized he was close to getting the touchdown he wanted so much when he was asked to play, of course, he knew it was very difficult for him to achieve as a Quarterback.

Coach Jim was very pleased with Jake's performance, it would have been worthwhile to invite Jake to this friendly for the football team alone, even though Jake wasn't necessarily better than his team's quarterbacks he had a different style of game.

Just 3 yards to Endzone, Jake's team was excited as opponents were afraid of falling behind, Jake, who had experience of being under pressure, only calmly organized the play.

The assistant said the suggestion was a race, but that Jake could try the pass if he could get the Touchdown after that Jake received the ball and the right WR entered Endzone and ran into the middle unmarked.

Jake didn't miss this opportunity and made a bullet pass to the receiving WR and dived to the ground to secure the touchdown.

After that Jake celebrated as if he had dunk or Alley-oop in the game, it was very satisfying to give a pass that ends with the team's touchdown, so the Elite team was winning by 6 points.

After the team kicker still hit the kick and made an extra point, now the Elite team had 7 points lead against the opposing team in the game, Jake returned to the bench to rest happily and was congratulated by his teammates.

The opposing team failed to score in their chance to attack and punctured again after advancing more than 50 yards.

In this first quarter ended with neither team getting any points and the Elite team continued to win by 7 points, in the second quarter of the game the opposing team managed to score 3 points with a field goal.

Jake suffered Sack a few times because he had no play options and WR fumbled a few plays and the Elite team lost some chances to increase the lead.

In the middle of the third quarter the Elite team was just 30 yards from Endzone, Jake was starting to get tired of the pressure of the game even though he had plenty of time to rest between plays.

After two races they had advanced just 2 yards and Jake was in a dilemma about what to do, as the players were on vacation and we're just playing a friendly with a weaker team, Jake's offensive teammates were not taking the play very seriously.
