Duke -vs- TX A&M

[74-911]

One hell of an offensive show from both teams... not much D however.
Manziel lighting em up the 2nd half...

How did you like Florida's next year's offense?

Duke made a statement tonight.

Congrats to TAM - great game.

Duke played a great game all right... a shame someone had to lose in a game like that.

[weseeeee]

I agree, it was a great game. Johnny football never quits.

I bet there are a lot of pro linebackers who would like to welcome that mouthy kid to the NFL with a big hug.

How is it that Duke can run up and down the field on A&M (SEC), but they couldn't even get a first down against Florida State (ACC)?

I think Florida State is going to pound Auburn.

Since winning the Toilet Bowl, I hope the Texans give Johnny a chance in the NFL

While they're making 1/10th of what he'll will be making.

I don't know if Manziel will be a successful NFL QB, but he will be exciting. After watching the Texans pitiful play this year, I would welcome that crazy mofo.

I understand the logic in your statement but we all know it doesn't always work that way.

FSU had a better defense than TAM for one. Also, I think the concept of momentum figures heavily in the way a game goes. Duke had the momentum for much of the TAM game - until TAM got it going the other way. Duke really never had the momentum against FSU.

I hope the barn runs rampant over the CrimiNoles......War Eagle!

He calls his own plays. He rallies the team around him and it is infectious. He does what is needed to win. THIS is what the Texans need.

Manziel is a better Flutie in college, could be a better Breeze/Tarkington in the pros if he gets his head wrapped around the next level.

I wouldn't bet against him...he played against real men, folks, very talented guys dedicated to eviscerating his spleen, and did things seldom seen.

[RWebb]

Sure, he's good.

NFL good maybe. But is he durable? We will find out when he starts getting some group hugs from those pro D guys.

[Don Ro]

Just finished watching it...recorded.
Nothing more to add...great game to watch.
J. Football is dazzling & fun, no question.

Thanks for not putting the score in the subject line, 74-911.

Manziel has bags of raw talent and drive. I wonder if he will find some maturity and humility...which is the reason to hope Russell Wilson's NFL success continues for a long, long time.
