Johnny Manziel Tells Ohio State To Not Fear Alabama

Johnny Manziel may have been late for treatment with the Cleveland Browns, but he has time to tell Ohio State what to do about playing Alabama in the Sugar Bowl in a few days.

The Sugar Bowl is in a few days down in New Orleans, and while Heisman finalist Amari Cooper adjusts to the smell, the Ohio State Buckeyes are getting advice from an unlikely but probably expected source.

Now that he’s with the Cleveland Browns, Johnny Manziel has a duty to watch out for Ohio State, even if he cut his teeth for a few seasons at Texas A&M. When it comes to upsetting Alabama, Johnny Manziel knows a few things about doing that, as his 2012 upset win over the Crimson Tide was a huge moment that helped him win a Heisman Trophy.

Manuel spoke to the Cleveland Plain Dealer to give Ohio State some advice and mentioned that fearing Alabama is something that should be avoided.

"“You absolutely give respect where it’s due,” Manziel told cleveland.com this week, “and they’re a program that has won numerous national championships and been at the top of the SEC.“You respect them, but you don’t fear them.”"

You absolutely have to respect Alabama, Manziel is not wrong there. Ohio State has put together an incredible season that has seen two quarterbacks go down and the third stringer lead them to a No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoffs. It’s not going to be an easy game, but if the Buckeyes listen to Johnny Manziel, they may end up coming out on the right side of this matchup.
