Johnny Manziel: 'Ain't nobody scared' of Alabama after shocking Florida State upset loss

While Johnny Manziel doesn't want Texas QB Arch Manning doing well against his Texas A&M Aggies, the Heisman Trophy winner wishes "nothing but the best" ahead of his 2025 season with the Longhorns.

The Alabama Crimson Tide were shocked on Saturday afternoon, as the No. 8-ranked team fell to unranked Florida State, 31-17, to kick off the 2025 college football season. 

The massive upset was a major storyline in college football, especially considering the fear factor the Crimson Tide have had over the sport for years. 

But Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel said that general fear of Alabama is no more for the other programs they face on the schedule.

"In the past, you walk in facing an Alabama team, you probably got a little fear," Manziel, who knows all about Alabama having played his college ball at Texas A&M, said on the "Nightcap Show" with Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson. "This is ‘Bama. The team has been a dynasty, you got a little fear. That fear aspect of what Alabama is – completely gone. Ain’t nobody scared of them boys. Not Vandy (Vanderbilt), not Kentucky, not nobody. Nobody’s walking in seeing Alabama on the schedule and having any kind of shake, any kind of fear, nothing. 

"They’ve been getting wiped the last couple of years. You say that buyout is deep, but not going to sit here and let this stand for sure. They’ll go find it in the woods somewhere."

Manziel isn’t the only one to call out the Crimson Tide.
