ard to win a game when we don't have a QB willing to make the deep pass in a system design for the deep pass.

This is where you know it is a troll. Manziel threw the ball deep several times against SMU. You could say he doesn't stay in the pocket or that he runs too much but throwing deep is no longer the issue.

Personally I put the odds of 7 wins at 80%, mainly because the defense has been much better than expected, Manziel will simply out talent a lot of mediocre teams making a surprise loss unlikely, and the teams not named LSU and Bama have all shown weaknesses. Showers also looked very solid as the backup against SMU in case Manziel gets put in the hospital against Bama or LSU. Finally I think the fact A&M gets then next 4 games against bad defenses in winnable games will do wonders for developing confidence for a Frosh QB.

I'd actually put the odds at 8 wins at 50% and the odds of 9 wins at 25%.
