Under Pressure

Practice

After the Wisconsin win, Ohio State's record improved to 8-0. Y/n had a stellar performance, contributing six touchdowns to the victory.

He threw three touchdowns to Marvin Harrison Jr., one to Carnell Tate, and one to Xavier Johnson. 

Y/n showcased his versatility with a rushing touchdown, solidifying Ohio State's dominant 55-10 win over Wisconsin.

During practice the next day, Y/n's mind was buzzing with creative ideas to elevate Ohio State's gameplay. As they gathered on the field, he approached Coach Ryan Day with a suggestion that could turn the tide in a close game.

"Coach, I've been thinking," Y/n started, catching Coach Day's attention. "What if we incorporate some trick plays into our playbook for those crucial moments? It could give us that edge we need."

Coach Day raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "I'm listening. What do you have in mind?"

Y/n grinned, his enthusiasm palpable. "Picture this, Coach. We've got Marvin Harrison Jr. on an end-around play, running it like a Maserati. We can call it Maserati Marv. It's unexpected, quick, and with Marv's speed, it could catch the defense off guard."

Coach Day nodded, considering the suggestion. "I like the creativity, Y/n. Adding some trickery to our game could definitely keep our opponents guessing. Let's work on incorporating Maserati Marv into our playbook."

Encouraged by Coach's response, Y/n continued, "And how about a Philly Special-inspired play? We can have Emeka Egbuka throw the ball to me while I'm on a streak route. Let's call it Spotem Dottem. It's catchy and could be a game-changer in the right situation."

Coach Day chuckled, impressed by Y/n's ingenuity. "Spotem Dottem, huh? I like the sound of that. We'll add it to our trick play arsenal and practice it this week."

As they delved into practice, the team eagerly embraced the new trick plays.

Marvin Harrison Jr. was enthusiastic about being a part of Maserati Marv, showcasing his speed and agility during the drills.

Emeka Egbuka, excited about Spotem Dottem, honed his throwing skills for the unexpected play.

During a simulated close-game scenario in practice, Y/n executed Spotem Dottem flawlessly, catching the ball from Egbuka and making a dynamic play down the field. The team erupted in cheers, seeing the potential impact of these trick plays.

Coach Day addressed the team after practice, "We're adding some new tricks to our playbook, thanks to Y/n's creativity. Remember, these plays are for those critical moments where we need to keep our opponents guessing. Let's be ready to execute when the time comes."

The players nodded in agreement, energized by the innovative additions to their strategies. Y/n's suggestion had sparked a new level of excitement and anticipation for the upcoming games.

They were ready to unleash 'Maserati Marv' and 'Spotem Dottem' when the situation demanded, confident that these trick plays could be game-changers.

Y/n, feeling hungry after the intense practice session, decided to head to The Cheesecake Factory in Cleveland for a relaxing meal. Taking Rachel with him for a date.

As Y/n and Rachel entered The Cheesecake Factory in Cleveland, they were greeted by a friendly atmosphere and the tantalizing aroma of freshly baked desserts. The restaurant was bustling with patrons enjoying their meals and conversations.

As they settled into their seats, a family sitting nearby noticed Y/n, recognizing him as the star quarterback of Ohio State.

Excitement and admiration gleamed in their eyes as they whispered among themselves, contemplating whether or not to approach.
