One person shouted “Heisman”. Smart said it was a good answer. Each player won the Heisman trophy during his time in college. Someone else said “Champion”, and it seemed that the bridge was too far for Smart.
“Champions? He is not the champion. The champion what? The champion of the fiery ball,” Smart said about Manziel. “All right, okay, okay, I’m going here for you. There’s Heisman. Okay? Everyone had great days in relation to our defense. All four of them somehow somehow.”

Manziel stated during the conference that alcohol no longer has a place in his life. He also indicated that experience had taught him a new way to manage any potential future success.

“I started developing and having a lot of men,” “Manziel said.” I think I was at the forefront of that group of influences I was me, and success management is not a solo thing now. You have to have a support system and rely on things in your life. “
