The defense is awful, and Manziel has to try to make every play he can and has forced a few passes. That is his fault, agreed.

The fact is: put Manziel as QB of FSU and they are still undefeated. Give A&M FSUs D and they are undefeated.

Put Winston in Manziel's spot at QB and they lose to Ole Miss.

Now, to be fair, I think Manziel needs to come out and have good games against both LSU and Mizzou to cap off his year.
