Johnny Manziel Suspension: Kevin Sumlin Fought Season Long Ban Before Heisman Season

Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin claims he fought to appeal a suspension to eventual Heisman winning quarterback Johnny Manziel, which would have prevented him from playing in his historic redshirt-freshman season. Manziel confirmed in an interview with Texas Monthly that he faced a season-long ban after an arrest in which he was part of a bar fight and found with a fake ID.
