Johnny Manziel Shreds Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders After Controversial Comments
Former college football star Johnny Manziel calls out Shedeur Sanders after controversial comments.
Sep 14, 2024 9:49 AM EDTFormer Texas A&M superstar Johnny Manziel appeared on the "Big Bets on Campus" podcast this week and didn’t hold back when discussing Shedeur Sanders' comments about blaming his offensive line for the team's poor performance during Week 2 against Nebraska.
Manziel, one of the greatest collegiate quarterbacks of all time, had a unique pre-game approach, combining a love for partying with impressive on-field results. But it worked.
During his two seasons with the Aggies, Manziel amassed 7,820 passing yards, 63 passing touchdowns, 2,169 rushing yards, and 30 rushing touchdowns.
Although Shedeur Sanders is undeniably talented, Manziel's insights, especially regarding the collegiate level, carry weight. Manziel was not impressed with Sanders' remarks about his offensive line.
The Colorado Buffaloes lost the matchup 28-10, and Shedeur Sanders, who was the most sacked quarterback in college football last season, has already been sacked 6.5 times this year, with six of those occurring against the Cornhuskers."If I was an O-Lineman at Colorado, I'd be absolutely pissed. I mean I really just don't see how you do this." Manziel said, "I don't see how you come and throw your own guys under the bus that you're working with. Grinding with every single week. Week in and week out."

Despite these struggles, Sanders, the offensive line, and the rest of the Colorado Buffaloes have a chance to rebound this week as they face rival Colorado State on the road. Last season, their matchup with the Rams went into double overtime, promising another intense contest.
