I'm not going to lie, A&M scares me next year. As far as I know they have just about everyone coming back and we are going to lose at least 10 guys on our defense. Its going to be a bad year for us if we can't get better QB play.

I think that A&M should be the favorite to win the West next year....if not the conference.

Tebow, with a passing arm, would have been brutal.

Manziel seems to have a more complete skillset.

Right on point…Tebow could be contained because of his limited passing ability. Maziel is a much better QB. He is going to be one hell of a dual threat next year. Can’t wait to see them in Tiger Stadium. I hope we can feel in the holes in our defense before then.

More than anything it shows what having an excellent QB can do for a team. For example, while Louisville beat Florida as a team, it wouldn't have been close if they didn't have a guy like Teddy Bridgewater at QB making plays. While it is rather obvious that it is usually the QB who has the greatest affect on the outcome of a game, it also goes unsaid how that raises the overall play of the entire team.

Absulutly, Northern Illionos is another example. Without that QB they would of never made it to a BCS bowl

omg @ Manziel's rushing yards, wish I would have watched. Oklahoma got spanked though.

Jones and Barkley should have gone to the NFL instead of staying. Bad thinking boys!
