Do you people really believe this when you say it?

Bama had 9 games of film. OU had 12 games of film and a month to prepare.

Manziel was nearly unstoppable after getting some game experience under his belt. There was absolutely no sign of coaches being able to "figure him out" as the season progressed. His best game was probably his last game.

Manziel isn't a gimmick that gets figured out. He's a playmaker that gets better with experience.

That statement is as dumb as bringing up JFF's performance against Oklahoma. Oklahoma ranked 64th in total defense. Alabama, Florida, and LSU were ranked 1st, 5th, and 8th respectively. Oklahoma ranked 89th in rushing defense.Alabama, Florida, and LSU were ranked 1st, 4th, and 9th respectively. You may use Oklahoma's secondary in your arguments, for they finished 12th in passing efficiency defense and 29th in passing defense.

Qualitatively, Alabama was the 3rd best and last good defense you played last season. You lost to the other two; granted, JFF had not fully developed yet. I don't want to get deep into those games. You lost to two one-dimensional offenses, and Mettenberger overthrew a few wide-open receivers for easy touchdowns.

Anyways, we'll see who is right 5 months from now.
