Johnny Manziel came to Tuscaloosa this weekend to cheer on Diego Pavia, hoping the Vanderbilt QB could beat Alabama in Bryant-Denny like Manziel did 13 years ago.
Instead, Johnny Football got to witness the same reality he himself witnessed in the second attempt at facing Alabama: an angry, revenge-focused team that got the better of Manziel then, and Pavia today.
In a battle of two elite quarterbacks - Alabama's Ty Simpson and Vanderbilt's Pavia - the better player was obvious. Simpson was clearly the better player, and it was so obvious that even Johnny Football had to put the double birds away to give Simpson his props in the aftermath of the Crimson Tide's 30-14 victory.
