Look, obviously it's impressive. We all know how huge this defense has been for us for years now; and how outside of Bama, Manziel didn't do much against the meat of his schedule. I just don't see the sense in trying to downgrade another team's accomplishments. We were better than them this year and we're a better program than them, why the need to come of as insecure by reiterating it? We proved it to the nation on the field.

Precisely. So whining about who goes to what bowl is pretty pointless and wasted energy.

We were the only, the only, team to contain that guy. Focus on that if you want to focus on something.

We'll see how he does next season. I'm guessing this will go to his head, plus they lose their two stellar OTs. We'll see.

Not trying to a jerk, just trying to put it in some perspective, that's all.

We did do a great job against him in the 2nd half, but thank GOD they were called for a chop block and had that other first half TD called back or it was probably ball game in the first half if they would have went up 16-0. He was carving us up like a Thanksgiving turkey in the 1st half (like he did to Bama), but we made great adjustments and had a miracle turn of events in the last couple of minutes of the 1st half.

He completed 77% of his passes against Florida in his first game ever and ran for another 60 with a TD. For comparison, LSU ran for 42 as a team and scored 6 points against them. He drilled Bama.

Records:

Most yards total offense, game (576, breaking Archie Manning's 1969 record of 540 yards, and his own record of 557 set two weeks earlier)

Most yards total offense, season (4,600, breaking Cam Newton's 2010 record in two fewer games)

Most yards total offense, game average (383.3, breaking Tim Couch's 1998 record, of 377.4 yards)

Highest yards per play average (50 plays minimum), game (10.71, against Arkansas on September 29, 2012, breaking Steve Tanneyhill's record of 10.0 yards)

First SEC quarterback to pass for 3,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards in one season
