re: How was Manziel good in college?

LSU def had his number, but caught him at good times also..before he got rolling and when he was pretty hurt.

LSU matches up well on D with teams that play that style. LSU was about the only team that shut him down (the weather probably didn't help his passing game either the two times they played).

However, he accounted for more yards (900+) in two games against Bama than LSU QBs have accounted for in the last 5 against them. He also had more than double the rushing yards LSU's team had against Bama last year when he played them. The dude was a great college player no matter who was around him. Although Evans had a monster game against Bama last year, he didn't even have 50 yards or any TDs when aTm beat Bama at Bama in 2012.
