The former Heisman Trophy winner joined ESPN's College Gameday and shared his thoughts on the highly anticipated matchup between the two top-ranked teams in the country.
Johnny Manziel, the former face of college football and the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner, made an appearance on ESPN's College Gameday from his backyard in College Station, Texas, and offered his predictions for the highly anticipated matchup between the Oregon Ducks and the Georgia Bulldogs.
Manziel, who played quarterback for the Texas A&M Aggies from 2012 to 2014, is no stranger to big games. He led the Aggies to a 10-2 record and a Cotton Bowl victory in his Heisman-winning season.
Johnny Manziel's Bold Predictions for Oregon Ducks vs. Georgia Bulldogs
Manziel is confident that the Ducks will come out on top in the clash between the two undefeated teams.
"I think Oregon's going to win," Manziel said. "I think they have too much firepower on the offensive side of the ball."
Manziel pointed to the Ducks' high-powered offense, which is led by quarterback Bo Nix and running back Bucky Irving. Nix has thrown for 1,300 yards and 14 touchdowns this season, while Irving has rushed for over 600 yards and 7 touchdowns.
"They're going to put up a lot of points," Manziel said. "And I don't think Georgia's defense is going to be able to keep up."
Manziel also praised the Ducks' defense, which is led by linebacker Noah Sewell.
"Their defense has really improved this year," Manziel said. "They're not going to give up a lot of points to Georgia."
Manziel's prediction is in line with the expectations of many experts, who believe that the Ducks are the favorites to win the national championship this season. The Ducks are currently ranked No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings, while Georgia is ranked No. 3.
The Ducks and Bulldogs will face off on Saturday, September 10th, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. The game will be televised on ESPN at 8:00 PM ET.
