TAMU's defense is disgusting.

 

[Christo]

A&M D forgot there was a game tonight.

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

Not surprising Duke is scoring on A&M because A&M's defense sucks. Surprising Duke has stopped them though.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

TAMU's defense is disgusting.

It's been that way for a decade.

 

[Raider Nation]

Might as well onside kick. Duke will be at midfield in five seconds anyway.

 

[pantherclub]

Johnny football is going to get murdered in the NFL if he keeps playing this style.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Maybe Texas A&M Fake Army will rush the field and stop this assault.

 

[Pumpnick]

they gotta go for this right?

 

[Osaurus]

More scores

 

[Christo]

Dibs on the A&M water girl.

 

[Raider Nation]

It would be kinda funny to see the Fighting Krzyzewskis hang 70 on A&M.

 

[Raider Nation]

 

[Christo]

Duke scored too fast!!!!!!!!

 

[Christo]

Awesome block

 

[Christo]

 

[Brady Marino]

Duke going for the throat with the onsides. AND THEY GET IT!!!

 

[Raider Nation]

See, the smart kids liked my idea!

 

[Brady Marino]

This is so awesome.

This might be the worst bowl season ever. And A&M is going to murdify Duke tonight.

The ESPN ticker has been saying A&M is predicted to win by an "average of 4". I've been thinking they need to re-calibrate their prediction calculators.

ACC Coastal might be the worst BCS division ever. VT and Miami were slaughtered, Duke is about to be, GT was mediocre and Pitt was Pitt. Gross.

Update?

Congrats on your 100% bowl predictions.

Johnny Football is more like Johnny ######## from looking at his reaction on the sidelines.

I am shocked how strong Duke is playing. I thought that Florida State massacre would crush the team

 

[Christo]

wow

Cutcliffe's agent probably had to change his underwear 5 times in the first half.

Lighten up Francis. I wasn't trying to bunch your undergarments. It was the first one I saw with that sentiment. I could've used the murdify post instead, but I saw yours first.

 

[AAABatteries]

Unbelievable but I think TAMU could come back - their D can't suck this bad again, right???

 

[Ramblin Wreck]

I could see A&M scoring 45 or even over 50. I don't think they can stop Duke though unless Duke turns it over.

 

[Christo]

If it was just Duke being pass-happy I might agree. But Duke is also running it down A&M's throat. It wouldn't just take A&M's D having a little pride but it would also require an epic collapse on Duke's part.

Hello - Longhorns?

Seems like TAMU will get close enough that Manziel's legend lives forever in College Station, because after this year, they won't have a lot to look forward to.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

So Manziel is a more arrogant and shorter version of Phillip Rivers?

 

[hammerva]

I don't know when I see Rivers I immediately think "have you seen my baseball". Don't get that from Manziel

Seems like most of Manziel's best touchdowns is the result of awful tackling. Last TD is a case in point

 

[Raider Nation]

Holy crap.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

What an amazing play

 

[mad sweeney]

How did no linemen go downfield on that?

 

[Christo]

NFW

 

[Raider Nation]

THAT's why I want him to be a Raider. If nothing else, the games won't be a snoozefest.

 

[Raider Nation]

Daniel Jeremiah ‏@MoveTheSticksI asked an NFL exec about Manziel during halftime, his comments "I hope he doesn't land in our Division"

 

[Doctor Detroit]

THAT's why I want him to be a Raider. If nothing else, the games won't be a snoozefest.

He's gonna get lit up on plays like that in the NFL, but if he's healthy he'll be a good QB IMO. Good touch, can make the outside throws and he's as good at improvising as any CFB QB I've ever seen. Whoever gets him has to be prepared to let him be himself though, that's the only way he'll be great in the NFL.

 

[Raider Nation]

Earlier, DJ said that he's the most elusive QB he's ever seen.

In fairness though, I believe he's a bit too young to remember Tarkenton in his prime. That guy's slipperiness was stupid.

 

[Christo]

A little bit of a grab my ###.

@slmandel: Worth noting: A&M did not finish last in the SEC in passing defense. That would be the team playing in the BCS title game.

Good thing they aren't playing a good pass offense Monday.

 

[ang12]

Did Manziel really need to scramble around and run into his own lineman on that TD? The guy was open as soon as he snapped the ball.

Sure, Now flip it around. You have a good rush defense, but whose rushing offense did you shut down which compares with Auburn?

They didn't play anybody that good. But all 11 of their defensive starters will likely be drafted. That ain't happening with AU.

Is this really true? That's pretty extraordinary.

Auburn's scheme will give anyone headaches. If FSU shuts down that rush offense, it will be beyond impressive.

Just checking. My Twitter feed seems way more impressed with the play for some reason.
