College Football Week in Review

This weekend was full of huge letdowns if you're anywhere the same kind of an as I am. Notre Dame won a game they shouldn't of won and now we have to hear Lou Holtz almost have a heart attack everytime he talks  because the small amount of blood he has left goes to his boner he has whenever he mentions Manti Te'o. Alabama stayed undefeated playing a VERY close game with LSU which I said would go down to the wire and it didn't disappoint. I also think our Heisman winner came from that game with A.J. McCarron. That drive he led to win that game is only one that a real championship quarterback can lead against a team like LSU. Oregon absolutely obliterated the already terrible USC defense. When I heard Barner had 300+ rushing yards I honestly wasn't surprised. I think Oregon and Alabama is the title game everybody wants to see now. We all just have to pray the extremely overrated ND team gets taken down by Matt "The Chosen One" Barkley and the rest of the Trojans. Good to see Baylor finally get the first conference win, wish it would have been against an actual Big 12 worthy opponent though. A Charlie Weiss coached team could be beaten by the great Dillon Panthers and I have no doubt Coach Taylor out coaches Weiss.

Onto another topic, Johnny Manziel also had a great game, possibly shutting my mouth for the rest of the season. He still doesn't have the big win yet so I'm not real sure how great he is but he has plenty of time to prove me wrong. This June however, the infamous Johnny Manziel was arrested for being in a fight and producing a fake ID. I know being in a fight isn't a big thing, even though Jordan Jefferson missed a few games for the same thing and this kid gets to start for his team. I just want to know what kind of program Sumlin is running, and what kind of model player he's creating when he lets a kid get arrested for at least three misdemeanors in one night (He had two fake I.D.'s) and then give him the starting job? Is the next quarterback going to think he can do the same thing? Also, I don't blame him for actually having the fake I.D.'s who didn't whenever they were nineteen, I know I did. But hey, if you're going to do something illegal don't get caught Manziel. Regardless, everybody needs to keep an eye on this chode. I don't like him, but it's usually people who have success (Even though he hasn't beat a team worth bragging about) that we don't like. He has over 2,500 passing yards and over 900 rushing yards, and is creeping up on the Cam Newton's total offense SEC record of 4,327 yards. But Johnny, let me tell you this. You're impersonation of the "The Superman" Cam Newton celebration Saturday is pure brattiness. You cannot mimic a real Heisman and National Championship winner until you actually win both. The thing is, he might actually receive an invitation to the Heisman ceremony, but Braxton Miller has a better shot of winning that thing than him and he has almost a 1,000 less passing yards than him. Why? Because B-Mill is on an undefeated team. He hasn't slipped up. I know they play in the God forsaken Big 10 but ESPN and the voters LOVE Ohio State. So I would honestly be surprised if he is even invited. Manziel has one more opportunity to prove to me that he can win a big game. Unfortunately for him, it's against the top team in the country, defending national champs, and against the number one defense in the country. Oh, did I mention it's at Bryant-Denny Stadium too? Yeah, LSU held Manziel to less than thirty rushing yards, I am expecting Bama to do the same. Except,  Bama has an actual offense, unlike LSU (Well LSU has one now apparently). So I think it will be a blowout, but there's that little bit of hope inside me that says maybe if there's one guy who could do it single handedly it's him. But don't get your hopes up. 

Sorry, I can't bring myself to talk about the Cowboys (America's Team) until they win a game again.
