Stat: he had more missed tackles this game then all season combined.

That is what happens when NBC and ESPN have a camera on him ALL the time.Manti is a good player, just not as good as the media wanted him to be. He, and the rest of the ND defense, were exposed tonight.
Is this thread needed??
The kid is a very good player, and did not have his best game tonight
and for the past 6 years we know where big boy football is played.He didn't have his best game tonight because for the first time this year he had to play big-boy football
No offense intended toward 3rd string walk ons everywhere...Manti Teo was handled all night.
The best thing about it was the 'Talking Heads' really played him up big for the last month.
Today was another love-fest for Manti, then we handled him like he was a 3rd string walk on...
Was all the hype needed? Probably a decent guy, but he was a victim of the ND PR machine. ND, as an institution, needs to be humbled. And they were. Here is to them wandering, the next 39 years, in CFB wasteland.Is this thread needed??

He seems like a great guy and I don't think that anyone here has anything against him personally. The problem is that he was given defensive awards over guys like Clowney & Jarvis Jones. It's not his fault, but I think everyone is just calling out the ND hype machine.The kid is a very good player, and did not have his best game tonight
He can have all the awards that he received. Our players got the one trophy/award that I wanted them to get and they DESERVED it!This article from CBS Sports hits him about as hard as Lacy here.

Hmmm...doesn't sound like a linebacker to me....but they miss the flaws, namely his lack of physicality and his difficulty in taking on and getting off blocks.
'All World # 5 where are you?' You date yourself with that post, Cuda! RTR"There's a hold-up, in the Bronx. Brooklyn's broken out in fights......................etc..............
Manti T'eo where are you?"
Checking GPS... He's gone off the 'Radar Screen'... With the beating he took, he may have gone to the 'ER'...Anyone find him yet!?
