I agree that rough weather is a major advantage to A&M. If it is a smash mouth game it's over. Just line up that monster OL and give it to Christine Michael 40 times. La Tech is the team that has to throw it 70% of the time, A&M just likes to spread the field but doesn't have to.
This is how I would see it as well assuming A&M can run the ball well. Odds are Manziel probably wasn't going to be throwing that much this game regardless unless A&m was able to get a big lead early.
About the only advantage to playing on a wet field for a passing team is that there is a greater risk the DBs could slip and fall down providing for some big plays.
Still, the line of the game is only 7 points right now so the weather issue hasn't overly influenced Vegas so they may see a low scoring affair, haven't seen the O/U predictions.

Honestly, it favors Manziel's coming out more than ANY other scenario. We know that the guy has wheels, the question is his poise and mastery of the system as a passer. You give him a perfect weather first game where he has to pass and he probably chunks a couple INTs and it shakes his confidence. Let him scramble in the mud all day and he's Johnny Football Hero dominating central TX HS FB again.
