Hope TAMU doesn't go with offense WV used against LSU but I have a funny feeling they will.

Will Johnny football make it through this game healthy? A buddy of mine is a huge A&M fan and he was blabbering this week about how manziel's old days of playing RB make him much tougher than most QB's. He said Johnny doesn't believe in sliding or avoiding contact very often. How long do you think he makes it against our D if he keeps this philosophy?


I really don't see an issue with a running QB playing against a big, strong and fast defense.

Manziel is good but not sure he is as accurate as Geno Smith. And their WRs are no Stedman Bailey and Tavon Austin either.

Manzeil has a tendency to run out of the pocket to one side and then run in a circle towards the other direction. Wouldn't surprise me to see any of our DEs pop him as he turns around if he tries to pull that against LSU.

That said, I think Texas A&M knows they'll do much better with quick passes, misdirection, etc. than they will trying to pass downfield, run up the middle, or run out of the pocket. I expect them to go with quick plays most of the game with a handful of slow developing plays when LSU sneaks up a safety.

The chances to get a shot on him will be limited unless A&M is playing from behind early.

He's a tough kid and fast, so he mostly gets glancing blows.


this. he's damn good at avoiding full collisions. which is smart and quite a healthy alternative for him. while he doesn't slide, he alters his direction at the last second and takes a dive to the ground. plus he goes oob a lot.
