Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Last week 4A Tivy High took on highly regarded 5A Madison High featuring 5 Star #3 in the country running back Aaron Green. Despite Green's +200 yards rushing Tivy won in a shootout thanks to Johnny Manziel's 41 of 75 passing for 503 yard performance.

But this week Tivy took on 5A Texas Powerhouse and featured ESPNU team Steele and the Nations number 1 running back Malcomn Brown.

Brown a verbal commit to The University of Texas and Scout's #1 rated 5 star running back ran for 354 yards and 4 touchdowns as Steele rang up 45 points on Tivy on their way to ..... NOT SO FAST MY FRIENDS..

Super Johnny Manzilla (Half Man Half Monster, All Amazing) completed 30-42 for 422 yards and 6 touchdowns. While he wasn't selling popcorn and leading the pep band he added 148 yards rushing and 2 more TDs. Thats 570 yards of total offense and 8 TDs with 4A teammates against a 5A Texas powerhouse. Tivy wins 54-45.

Next up Tivy travels to take on defending state 4A Champ (last year and about every year) Lake Travis. Johnny is on a pace to have the most prolific season in Texas 4A football history against a schedule that looked like a nightmare in preseason.

Those are just monster numbers against such a strong team. To continually put up big numbers, even when facing larger teams, is showing what a good recruit he is turning out to be. Hopefully he sticks by his commitment to Oregon and gives Kelly possibly another option in the QB competition.

Wow, those sure are impressive stats by Manziel. Here is a link to an article that I found about him:

I sure hope that we can hold on to him...

WOW that kid is impressive, no wonder Kelly and company was on him so quick. Hopefully he sticks with Oregon.

I will be surprised if he doesn't opt for A&M. I believe he's visiting the Aggies again today as they host Louisiana Tech.

It's great to see him playing so well, but this also just adds to the community pressure for him to stay home and play before family & friends. Our best weapon needs to be a big season and reminding him he can play for a NC if he comes to Oregon.

Very soon there will be more than A & M involved. You can't post those kind of numbers against good competition and not blow up big in recruiting. I don't know who, but there will be more big name programs come knocking. Think the Longhorns want another TX kid to star at an Oregon school?

Geez, this kid is an absolute freak of nature. Kelly NEEDS to put this kid on lockdown ASAP!

Certainly more will come a knockin' but it also depends on their style of play. Schools that want a pro style QB won't be interested unless it's for another position.

Good point.

The way Thomas is starting to gel, any QB prospect who doesn't want to compete for PT will likely hit the road...

It will weed out the ones that aren't in the mold that Chip likes.

Manziel is putting up huge numbers, holy crap! UM, Florida, and Texas should all be interested...
