I've seen numerous "excuses" from Aggie Fans regarding the 3 interceptions that Manziel threw in the loss to LSU including one from Ag11 about some nonsensical excuse about some desperation heave/punt. I've watched the replay and I have no clue what he's talking about.

Below is the youtube of the game. There are 3 interceptions, 2 of which are all on Manziel. Also there was another throw in the red zone (left handed lol) that should've been picked off.

Pick 1 - 1:11:10 mark
Pick 2 - 1:51:30 mark
Near Pick - 2:21:10 mark. I have no clue what he was thinking
Pick 3 - 2:31:25 mark

If the Heisman voters would simply go back and watch the Florida and LSU games, maybe some of the Johnny "buzz" would wear off.

• Johnny Football hype, Manziel vs. UF, LSU was 52 of 86, 449 yards, 0 TDs, 3 INTs, averaged 2.5 ypc50 minutes ago


• Conversely, against Michigan, OU, Stanford, USC -- ND's 4 biggest games -- Manti Te'o averaged 9 tackles and had 4 INTs49 minutes ago

One part I think goes to Manti:

9.There will never be another two-time Heisman winner.

Since there are no active Heisman Trophy winners playing in 2012, this will not come into play as a factor in this year’s voting.

Advantage: Push


I actually would give this to Manti. Manziel being a fresh on the field, will probably contend for this award again if he keeps playing like this. So would voters vote for him this year, knowing how good he was as a fresh and he's likely to get another crack at it?? Advantage: Te'o

With so much being measured for Maziel against former SEC QB's like Cam and Tebow, I think its only fair that we compare Teo to the only other defensive player that won it.

Charles Woodson
- 42 tackles (4 for losses)
- 1 sack
- 8 INT's
- 11 REC/283 Yds/2 TD's
- 3 Rush/15 YDS/ 1 TD
- 11-0 Team Record

Manti Teo
- 103 Tackles (5.5 for losses)
- 1.5 Sacks
- 7 INT's
- 2 Fumble Recoveries
- 12-0 Team Record

Tie in his amazing story for this season, and I will let you guys discuss...

THIS. This pretty much says it all. And i dont care what anyone else says or thinks, Te'o definitely caused that fumble against Wake Forest on Calabrese's big hit.

Just some random stats...

There are 3 QBs alone in the SEC that actually have a better passer rating than Manziel.
Murray, McCarron and Shaw. Manziel is ranked 17th in the FBS.

QBs from OU, TT, Baylor, WV, Clemson, San Jose, LaTech, and Fresno all have more yards.

Bridgewater (louisville), Mariota, Fales (SJS), Geno Smith and Doege (TT) all have a better completion percentage.

I'll give Manziel credit, he is a really good QB. And he's probably going to get even better. But this shouldn't be is year, IMHO.

I got these stats from FoxSports.com

Well, it was nice joshing with you guys. It is all in fun. I wish ND luck and Manti the best in the NFL. Forget the Heisman though. It is over. A&M will be claiming that prize.

Just prep for Alabama/Georgia so you don't get pounded and embarrassed in front of the entire country. I actually think Georgia would be more dangerous for ND.

Ponder this thought. I heard it mentioned earlier that Desmond Howard said something about Manziels arrest. Does it make sense to anyone that many other voters (former winners) would shy away from voting for him this year? I mean, in the wake of the Bush/Heisman vacancy is there a chance that many of the voters want to shine up the image of the award a little?

A&M has only won 1 Heisman trophy, ever.

Lol.

And only 1 national title.

They're hurting.

Twice right? '93 and '94. Don't overlook you guys are 2-10 since then too.

I'm so tired of SEC fans. Especially A&M fans. You guys are the worst because you guys have been absolutely garbage for .... forever.... Then you have the balls to come in here and talk **** to all of us when we've been garbage for the last 20 years.

Honestly, we should both be celebrating our respective seasons. Instead you asshats come in here and get all self-righteous and elitist on us. WTF is that? If anything we should have mutual respect and admiration for getting out of the basement. Instead you guys come in here with your newfound pride now that you're in the SEC and talk down to ND... Wow real awesome.

ND is ****ing sweet and #1. ND has earned it and is not overrated at all. We are 12-0. Manti is sweet. If you refuse to see that because you're blinded by your loyalty to your own candidate then fine. But I'll say it, Manziel is sweet too. He's a great football player and probably one of the top 5 in college football, if not the best.

Get your heads out of your (and other SEC teams') asses and have some respect.

I agree with that PND. I actually like Manziel and was loving it while he trashed Bama at home. But now I lump some Aggie fans in with the rest of the SEC dilusionals. I have a high school buddy who was a grad assistant therevmany moons ago. He reminded me awhile back that the Aggies last meeting with the Irish didnt fare well for the Irish. Late 90s I think they hammered the Irish.

Fair enough dude. Calm down. I've said it numerous times: Manti is an awesome player and will likely go on to have a good NFL career. I wish him the best.

I'll stop being a troll now. Good luck fellas.

This douchebag is on espn comments right now. Lol. Look at his username! Lol.

Look at the Bayless and Manziel comments sections.

That's where he's going.

LMAO!

I see his comments. Haha. Saying that Manti is a finalist because he's a "feel good story." Then he's in here saying, "Manti is an awesome player and will likely go on to have a good NFL career." GTFO. You're a liar and a troll. You have no integrity. GTFO out and don't come back.

Steve Hartman, who has a Heisman vote, said on his radio show with Pat O'Brien today that his vote was going to Manti. He does feel that Manziel will win though, but did bring up Manziel's poor play in both 2nd halfs of their losses. This comes from a professed ND Hater who attended UCLA and whose father attended USC.
