He threw 2 terrible passes in that final series of downs -- one into the ground and one way behind Wingo, who was wide open on a crossing route.11WSChamps wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 15:27 pm I'm sure Manning will be fine and playing in Columbus isn't ideal but he didn't look at all comfortable until the 4th quarter.
Seemed to be very unsettled in the pocket and forced some bad throws into coverage.
And on 4th and 3 earlier in the quarter in the red zone, he had Wingo wide open on a slant and chose to throw a low percentage pass into the boundary in the EZ. Incomplete. Wingo would've walked into the EZ.
He largely sucked outside of a few nice passes.
Sark didn't help with a super conservative game plan. He should've taken more chances early, let Manning wing it and try to work out the kinks. The talent of Wingo was absolutely wasted today.

'Noles up 17-7 near halftime, and it's pouring rain.

Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
Hard to say how our O line stacks up vs FSU, but I feel good about our QB giving Bama trouble. They don’t seem to defend a good dual threat QB very well.edwin drood wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 16:52 pmNow 24-7. 'Bama coming to CoMo with 2 losses. Their pass defense is susceptible. Georgia planning right now ..

Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
We also need to remember: Nick Saban isn’t coaching Alabama. They’re good, but this is not one of the Nick Saban coached juggernauts we always struggled to compete with. They look like they have issues today.
Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
Yeah, Bama is no longer Saban Bama, and it shows. FSU is more physical than Bama today. Never thought I'd see that day.Armchair QB wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 17:00 pm We also need to remember: Nick Saban isn’t coaching Alabama.

FSU still up 24-10 in the 3rd. And Bama was lucky to get that FG after Simpson fumbled.
Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
No fan of OSU but love Texas going down.
Very possible Mannings name is going to be much bigger than what he can accomplish this year.
Kid has talent but man is the hype over the top.

Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
The QB Simpson from Bama just isn’t very good. He’ll probably light the world on fire against us, but in this game he has no ability to scramble and not very accurate. Easily rattled.
They look a lot different without Milroe back there.

Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
Agreed. Early on, their O-line looked awesome, on running plays but on the pass, FSU is chasing him all over.Armchair QB wrote: ↑30 Aug 2025 17:24 pm The QB Simpson from Bama just isn’t very good.

Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
DeBoer will not make it through the season as the HC. Bama 65yds rushing and FSU 230yds rushing. He totally lost how Bama wins championships and that is dominating the line scrimmage on both sides of the ball.
Re: The Big Three Saturday games in the SEC
I guess Castellanos was right when he said pregame that "they don't have Nick Saban to save them."
Yards rushing were 230 for FSU and 74 for Bama. Beaten up in the trenches.

He'll learn from it and be fine.
Too many people believe all the hype and are quick to criticize.
He wasn't going to OSU first game of the season and light the world on fire. I sure wasn't looking for a highlight reel performance.
His offensive line wasn't great at protection and he had happy feet as a result.
He didn't play well as a result. No argument there.
