Gardner: Johnny Manziel sent me a text after the game telling me to keep my head up

I'm not sure how much to read into this:

Hoke on if same starting five OL will start Saturday "I don't know yet. We'll see what happens"

There's no chance A&M will make the SEC championship game, unless you see Alabama coming up with 2 conference losses against their relatively easy conference schedule (the only top-20 team left on their schedule is LSU, so there would have to be a major upset in there).  And A&M probably doesn't have a tough enough schedule to make the BCS championship game without winning the SEC, as LSU is also their only remaining chance for a top-20 win.  So regardless of whether Gardner is playing on January 6, Manziel won't be.

Don't be shocked to see Bryant start over Glassgow. I don't think anyone is safe on the line outside of Lewan and Kalis.

And can we please have Avery at nickel so Countess can stay on the outside where he is best?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Glasgow slide over to C and Bryant take LG. We'll see how Miller does in UFR today, but he continues to be the weakest link, IMO. The only thing stopping that is if Glasgow has issues snapping and/or doesn't grasp calling the blocking assignments, but physically he's been more impressive than Miller.

I won't attempt to speak about Wilson's overall play but IIRC I though he avoided contact with Akron's QB resulting in a first down.  It was on the play that their QB scrampled right (east) and picked up a long, key first down.  Had Wilson laid a hit he may have prevented the pickup.  Again, IIRC.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Edit: Meant to be in response to #49.

The one offering encouragement put over 550 yards, 4 TD passes and 42 points up on Alabama.  The one getting encouragement threw  interceptions and fumbled once against Akron.

Not that hard to understand......

One could assume that since they did the Manning passing camp together that they could be acquaintences or even friends.  So I don't find this to be patronizing at all or out of the realm of just being a friend.  While I am not a fan of Manziel's media hype, he does seem to find a way to win.  Gotta give the kid credit.

Both Boyd and Johnny have had considerably more starting experience and time in their respective offensive systems.



However, looking at all three and what they bring to the table I see Devin with much of the same characteristics as Johnny and Boyd. I believe the more Devin plays the more he will find his niche u til he's finally locked in like those other two guys.

"Johnny Manziel sent me a text after the game telling to keep my head up......and look right at the person you are signing the autograph for"

Manziel is both everything Michigan fans hoped Tate Forcier would be on the field and also mentally as off as Tate Forcier turned out to be. What a weird combination.
