^^^This!!! He really is better than advertised. Can he declare for the draft after his freshman year? He deserves all the credit for the win tonight. Kudos to him and Coach Sumlin.I once saw Johnny earn the respect from the undefeated National Champions and raise the real question of freshmen winning the heisman.
His linemen didn't get hit by three bama defenders, bobble the ball straight up, regain control, and still find the open receiver for a touchdown after scrambling away from the pressure. The kid is a baller and he can't leave the SEC west too soon for my liking.I'm not ready to say all that. Particularly without mentioning his offensive line. Not that we have all world pass rushers, but on those incredibly impressive pin point passes from Manzell, he didn't have a Bama receiver within 5 yards of him. And when he did have success running early, his big uglies were downfield doing work.
The kid played a great game, but I'm not crowning him. His linemen deserve much more credit than they're getting
All true but by that standard, Mark would not have won.I'm not ready to say all that. Particularly without mentioning his offensive line.

The big uglies never get the credit that they deserve. Johnny Football will lose two outstanding offensive tackles next year and the sure handed Swope; however, I'll bet he still puts on a good show.All true but by that standard, Mark would not have won.
