By "run with his head down," do you mean he doesn't slide to avoid a hit or doesn't keep his eyes downfield while scrambling? Because the latter is most definitely false. As for the former, he's a tough little son of a bitch. I know it's not Bama's or LSU's vaunted defenses, but Manziel has taken a handful of good licks this season and come right back the next play.

The fact that we're playing in Neyland & Alabama is such an old rivalry helps us a little bit, but only a little bit. We're outcoached & have less depth, but hunger makes teams do weird things
I would be suprised if Alabama lost to either, but both I believe will be good games.

Yeah, I'm not predicting anything with regards to either game. It will be interesting to see how home field advantage for y'all and a high powered offense like ours will stack up.

I don't think either team is going to beat Bama or realistically keep it within 10 points. That said I think A&M has the better shot not because of their offense but because of their D. A&M's D is very physical and in tremendous physical shape, they have only given up 47 points in 4 games. Both UT and A&M should be able to score some, the problem is Bama is too deep and strong all the way around so unless they are just having an off game and with a lot of turnovers I don't see it.

That's the only shot
UT is explosive on offense, especially if we continue to run the ball like we did against UGA but our D is going to get ran over all game.
A&M matches up better all around

None of the above.

Bama has never seen--and crushed-- a 'high-powered' offense before, so I can understand the Aggie confidence in the bama game.
I guess I'm biased in that I've seen bama take Arkansas offenses --such as last year's-- that I believe are better than this A and M offense, and just flat-out crush them. One would think that Sumlin and Manziel are the first coach/QB pairing ever seen in the SEC.

UT is looking for that key win, but I don't see it coming from Saban and Alabama. I think aTm is the bigger test as it comes later in the year and after LSU.

Your QB will not survive his visit to Tuscaloosa assuming he still has a head after the LSU game.

State is the biggest threat if we go in undefeated. Bama won't overlook us but at the same time LSU is the very next week. Saban will be trying to sub in and out as much as possible so his team is completely fresh both weeks. McCarron will make a few poor throws like he did against Ole Miss but state will take advantage of them. 24-21?
All highly unlikely but if they get upset thats where it will be.

MSU the bigger threat? Ah no.
I think TAMU will be the most interesting game. Bray folds like a cheap tent under pressure- even at home. JFF is fearless, but I hope he survives. He is crazy IMO.

MSU is the best of the three teams and they play us and LSU on consecutive weeks, we will see.

lol. neither team has a shot at Alabama.
I see the Aggies are fired up about beating Arkansas just as bad as Rutgers did.

Would you have the same opinion had Sumlin allowed Johnny to play the whole game?
Did you not see enough?
What glaring weakness did you identify in A&M's squad that has you speaking so unequivocally?

I don't recall the Rutgeres 48 point beating of Arky.

Your team being too classless to put the ball on the ground doesn't mean that it's gods gift to football. Ole Miss is our instate rival, we don't even refer to the by name, but if we are up 28-0 we will run the ball every single down. Congrats you skull fricked a highschool football team that has quit on the season.
