The winner of the Heisman trophy, Johnny Manziel, wants “nothing but the best” for Arch Manning while Manning launches in his first season as a full -time leaving with the Texas Longhorns.
But the allegiance of Manziel university football makes him hope that Manning will have his worst match of the year during the week of rivalry in university football.
Manziel’s Texas A & M Aggies have priority about any Longhorns player.

“Every time [Texas] Plays Texas A&M, I hope he launches five choices and no touched and gives us the opportunity to win this ball game that we have to win, “Manziel told PK Press Club Digital while discussing his partnership with Sling TV.
“The Lone Star Showdown” is the nickname of the Texas-Texas A & M Week, which is commonly played during the week of rivalry. This year, the match will be played on November 28, the last regular season game for Aggles and Longhorns.
Thus, Manziel will have other weeks before this match to watch what the Longhorns and Manning do while embellishing his Aggles.

The expectations of Manning as a starter of the Longhorns are through the roof with Quinn Ewers passing to the NFL. Texas is at the top of the pre-season pre-session of the Top 25 of the Associated Press, and many choose them to win the university football qualifiers for this year.
Manziel will not go so far, but it is excited to see what Manning can do with the spotlight on him to Austin.
“Texas starts very well,” said Manziel. “Lots of media threshing around them, and there is a lot of pressure in this situation. But, from what he has shown so far, one might think that he would be able to manage it, and he will play well. The dry, week after week, we will discover exactly what he did.
“For me, from my point of view, I only wish him the best. It seems to be an incredible child, has an incredible family. I want him to do incredible things outside this day.”
Manziel knew the Manning family well, after winning the “Manning Award” coveted for the best quarter of university football during its 2012 winning campaign from Heisman to A&M.

Arch has a solid support system with his uncles, Peyton and Eli Manning; His father, Cooper Manning; And his grandfather, the legend of the Saints of New Orleans Archie Manning. But Manziel is curious, like the rest of the country, to see how Arch when it is between the lines faced with the defending national champion of the Ohio State Buckeyes to launch its campaign in 2025.
“When you are classified as high in the season, and you have media threw and name and everything that accompanies it, you will get everyone’s best shot week after week,” said Manziel. “As soon as the door is released in their schedule, they get a real test by playing a real team outside the door.
“So you get the best blow of everything. People come for you, and there will be defenses that you have never seen before, looks that you have not seen before. They will really get you.”

Manziel knows the expectations of directing a very praised dry school.
“The main thing he must do is continue to be a good leader, to continue to manage the offensive as he taught, the way he needs, and to keep things in a good perspective that everything will not happen with each trip, every week,” said Manziel about Manning.
“You are going to face a certain adversity. You are going to have ball games that are three -point games where you have to try to hold people, and I hope they roam you.
“The best thing he can do is to introduce himself, to be the guy, to be the leader and to go out and play his best football week after week.”

A different way of looking at football
Manziel has teamed up with Sling TV, a subsidiary of Network Corporation, to promote a different way of watching football this season, which takes into account the consumer.
Sling TV offers three new streaming subscription packages: Day Pass, Pass weekend and Pass Week, which all give 24-hour access to the platform.
Regarding football, especially at the college level, not all fans want to pay a bonus for the games they will not watch. Manziel likes him to choose the right subscription in streaming with Sling TV.
“I receive these notifications on my phone who say:” You are billed in the amount X for this or that. “I say to myself: ‘guy, I’m just trying to look at the ball.’ To make something start at $ 4.99, and you choose the one you want – you want a day, a week, a weekend.
