...or even the SEC. I think Manziel set the SEC record for most total yards as a QB. Not bad considering the spread doesn't work in the SEC, according to Sam.Mace wrote:It looked to me like aTm would have fared pretty well in the Big 12 this year.
A&M did pretty well in the SEC and pretty much dominated the Big 12 co-champs last night. Manziel running the spread would pretty much work against anyone in college football, imo. The scary thing is that this kid is only going to get better. They've got a great offensive line and some very good receivers that allows Manziel to be "Johnny Football".MgoBlue-LightSpecial wrote:...or even the SEC.

since we're all predisposed to referencing cfb in terms of our own team: michigan was four top 10 teams from being 12-1 this year, their only loss on the road to nebraska while playing a 19th string qb in the 2nd half.King Crimson wrote: this OU team proved one thing....the 3 top 10 teams they played were better than the Sooners this year.
That pretty well sums it up, Dave.DiT wrote:the Aggies flat out whooped that ass.
fair enough. my point is that OU had 3 losses. all to top 10 teams. 2 at home. so, ergo, OU proved 3 times it was not a legit top 10 team. not that me or anyone is trying to make that case OU was legit top 10....but it's clear this OU team was good not great. get a little lucky KSU drops one and split the conference title.M Club wrote:since we're all predisposed to referencing cfb in terms of our own team: michigan was four top 10 teams from being 12-1 this year, their only loss on the road to nebraska while playing a 19th string qb in the 2nd half.King Crimson wrote: this OU team proved one thing....the 3 top 10 teams they played were better than the Sooners this year.
Eh, I wasn't criticizing your point, just pointing out that we got our asses kicked by the Top 10 as well. But due to unbalanced scheduling our 8-5 season looks a lot less successful than, say, Northwestern's 10-3.King Crimson wrote:fair enough. my point is that OU had 3 losses. all to top 10 teams. 2 at home. so, ergo, OU proved 3 times it was not a legit top 10 team. not that me or anyone is trying to make that case OU was legit top 10....but it's clear this OU team was good not great. get a little lucky KSU drops one and split the conference title.M Club wrote:since we're all predisposed to referencing cfb in terms of our own team: michigan was four top 10 teams from being 12-1 this year, their only loss on the road to nebraska while playing a 19th string qb in the 2nd half.King Crimson wrote: this OU team proved one thing....the 3 top 10 teams they played were better than the Sooners this year.
i haven't gone to homer boards but i'm sure landry jones is being non-poetically ripped as per usual....but he's going to look a lot better a year from now. imo. the guy was never josh heupel or sam bradford...but, he was a very good college QB. far from my fave OU QB (Thomas Lott)....but kid gave a lot. doesn't deserve the homerish mistreatment he gets.
beat Texas 3 times as a starter...that's allegedly what we are all about...except when it isn't?
oh i know. i just wanted get my "end of year" thoughts in a ducky row.M Club wrote: Eh, I wasn't criticizing your point, just pointing out that we got our asses kicked by the Top 10 as well. But due to unbalanced scheduling our 8-5 season looks a lot less successful than, say, Northwestern's 10-3.
