Manziel may not have made it happen in the NFL but I’ll be damned if he isn’t a college football legend. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. Dudes legacy is cemented!
College football sucks. Bunch of little boys playing grab (*) with each other. The NFL separates the men from the boys. 1 percent real NFL talent mixed in with a bunch of pansies.
Man looking back 2012 was probably the best sports year I can remember. Manziel became johnny football, Jeremy Lin became linsanity, the giants beat the patriots in a crazy game, Bron beat the thunder for the chip.
This one, & 2 from that Auburn season against GA & Bama. 2015 I believe. I was an AU fan then I finally wasn’t a fan anymore ab 3 years ago cuz it wasn’t fun & was since 2006
I remember this game.. Thought A&M had no chance and figured a blowout was coming. This really was the start of Johnny football at least in college. He played a hell of a game that day
@camthesooner123 True. But irony was Bama still got into the CFP every year outside of 2022. And that was only because TCU got in. We know Bama would've beaten Michigan and/or TCU and it would've been a 2nd year in a row of Bama/Georgia for the title and nobody wanted to see Bama again.
@@ericsigersmith2831 A&M didn't beat Nebraska in the 1996 Big 12 championship game, you are thinking of UT. I think A&M's win over Alabama was the biggest win for the program since 1939 against Tulane when they claimed their last national championship. The game itself was extremely entertaining, Alabama was in the middle of probably the greatest dynasty run in college football history and even won the national championship later that year, it was the biggest part of Manziel becoming A&M's first Heisman winner since John David Crow in 1957/the first freshman to ever win the Heisman trophy and A&M was in their first year in the SEC playing for big things so the win was very important. I think A&M might have been the best team in the nation in 2012. They beat 1st ranked Alabama and destroyed Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl who ended up being ranked 15th at the end of the season despite that routing and A&M's only 2 losses were very close 3pt and 5pt losses to 9th ranked Florida and 14th ranked LSU.
@@horizon2288 But paying that much money for a head coach and you still get that record and can't even make it to a SEC CCG. That's Jimbo for ya. FSU fans knew he needed an elite QB to win a NC because every year without Winston he was losing to unranked teams. And to not have won a NC since 1939 and all that money used for what? That's pretty sad.
A&M beat KSU for Big XII championship in 1998 as KSU had legendary QB Michael Bishop. A&M since has lied to kids and just paid them bags of money. I remember Oklahoma beating them in 2003 77-00 as Stoops pulled off the starters in the third quarter as it could have been more of a beat down.
This was his biggest Heisman moment, especially the play where the ball got knocked out of his hands into the air and then he turned around and caught it, then turned back around, got out of the pocket and threw a TD.
Nick saban said johnny manziel was the hardest player he ever had to prepare for in his career. That's saying a lot. I remember this game like yesterday. Mind totally blown as he just keeps making play after play.
Since this is NFL Throwback Verne Lundquist was voice of the Dallas Cowboys (1972-83) and did CBS NFL (1984-93, 1998-99 with fill-in appearances afterwards) and TNT NFL Sunday Night Football (1995-97). He used to work with Terry Bradshaw and sometimes John Madden on CBS. Verne was the voice of the SEC on CBS for 16 years beginning in 2000 (1:24)
I've never noticed how much Manziel and Mahomes mimic each other... similar speed, and maneuverability, and perhaps even accuracy... but Mahomes clearly has the edge in body mass, arm strength, and overall demeanor! Crazy watching this with those comparisons in mind!!
I was at this game! A&M grad that has ended up in Alabama. My boss (BIG Bama fan) gave me a ticket since it was my first time getting to see A&M play live in a long time. Who knew..... By halfway through the 4th quarter I moved down on the apron in front of the A&M section. We went nuts at the interception! What a game. I tried to take a picture of the scoreboard but my hands were shaking so badly I could not get a good pic (2012 cell phone.....). I still recall as we were running and jumping around at the end, an older Alabama fan took the time to shake my hand and congratulate me on a great win. He also welcomed us into the SEC. Class move for sure! SO glad we bailed on the dying Big 12 and came to the SEC!
Yet no title and bama still rolling, enjoy one game as we celebrate multiple titles. Poor you, one game is all you have, and johnny football ended up a loser and gone lol jeez you folks are pathetic.
1st quarter was everything for A&M in this game. They really stalled out on offense after that and missed some easy points in the form of field goals/PAT that could've kept this from ever even becoming the nailbiter it turned into. Still managed to hang on despite handing the game over to Bama with all those missed opportunities. Usually really good teams like Bama are able to come away with the W in potential upset games like this when the lesser program starts handing the win over to the opponent by blowing opportunities.
I remember this game. Georgia fan tailgating at the Georgia Auburn game. Everyone was going in for the game, but this one was so close. My dad and I stayed behind to finish watching it, and so glad we did.
Got to respect Manziel was not a slider. He tried to score on every run/scramble and he believed he could. Nobody ever played as hard as he did with as much confidence in college history.
I remember watching this game at a dingy old driving range with my step brother and our friends outside of Houston. Thought that shack was gonna fall down around us. The range is gone but I’ll remember that night forever
If they somehow coulda made it to the title game I think Texas A&M woulda won it all. Had several friends playing for the Aggies at the time, that game got me hyped!
@@jwc7215 They wouldnt have beat bama again. Bama was coming off a huge road win vs LSU and wasnt prepared right. Texas A&M won because of the first half. They didnt do much in the 2nd after bama knew what was coming
I think this was their first year in the SEC, if they had been in the BIG 12 that year I think they would have been in the title game against Alabama for sure.
I was a student at Bama at the time and this was one of my favorite games. Everyone I knew was selling their tickets because it wasn't projected to be a very good game and Bama was coming off of the 2011 natty. My gf at the time even sold her ticket and I made her buy another one for more than what she sold hers for. His scramble where he loses the ball and throws the TD was into the student section endzone, absolutely incredible part of history to watch. PS A&M pretty much just ran the same passing concept for the whole game and it worked every time.
Doesn't surprise me they ran the same passing concept the whole game considering they mostly stalled out on offense after coming out to a 20-0 lead in the first quarter, so obviously Bama made adjustments as expected. Some of it was missed opportunities in the form of bad play from their kicker, but their offense definitely didn't look as impressive after the 1st quarter ended. Huge 3rd down conversions repeatedly in the 1st quarter but rarely after.
This game no question, solidified Manziel's Heisman. Going on the road and winning against the number one team in the nation and playing just outstanding.
Johnny football was just about the best college QB (player) ever. I mean his stats r unreal 1,400 yds rushing as a freshman. Possible goat of college QB's.
Definitely one of my top favorite Aggie games. Say what you want about Manziel’s pro career. But, in college one of the most instinctual and big moment QB’s to ever play.
Bruh Manziel absolutely balled and partied out of control this entire season and it was so legendary he will live off of it his entire life what a character
Manziel's whole storyline drives me nuts. People say he didn't have an NFL skill set but that's just not true. Dude could make *ALL* the throws. He just truly didn't give a fuck that he could. He at the end of the day is a real life Alex Moran
no. He simply wasn't good enough for the nfl. He had a backyard style of playing which can work really well in college where you can evade 2-3 guys and then make an incredible pass or escape the pocket and make a big run. Unless your mike vick level speed or the size of big ben you can't really play that way in the nfl. Johnny manziel is only 5 11 and not that big. He was somewhat fast but not lamar jackson/mike vick fast. A lot of the things he tried to do in college was never going to work at the pro level, because he'd usually get caught/sacked immediately.
He was nowhere near good enough for the NFL. Those throws he made in college are because of the garbage defense. At the pro level, you’re up against the best of the best defenders. And the weakness of his play style got showcased big time
This was a memorable game and amazing upset. Looking back now though, it’s pretty amazing that Alabama was able to string together such a long run of dominance without ever really having any remarkable QB play. With the exception of Bryce Young and maybe Tua to a lesser degree, Bama has always been able win with mediocre quarterbacks
This guy was Pat Mahomes before Pat Mahomes, sad to think what the future could have looked like for him in the NFL if the Browns took better care of their players and he took better care of his mindset but regardless as an Aggie fan Johnny Football will always be the goat of college football qbs.
Awww man, this was the biggest W in American history right here. Everyone collectively came together to laugh at Alabama 😂 Also, I about had a heart attack when Bama came back and nearly won the game. Too close for comfort.
Texas A&M had a real breakout first year in the SEC. It sucks that they tend to average about 8 games a season What I also hate is that we never got to see how Manziel would have played against the Longhorns
If he showed out against UT I feel like A&M would’ve probably overtaken the Longhorns as the top recruiting destination in Texas, but I guess we’ll never know 🥂
Hardly. With a hurt offense and horribly bad defense, it's not surprising that Bama finished with a Sugar Bowl victory over Kansas State by double digits. Still not a bad season honestly. It's going to be a grind-out defensively game here in the rematch. 2-9 against Bama in the last 11 matchups, so I guess you deserved that one but there's going to be another L in the stats for A&M for 2023. It might be by 3, or 23, but it'll still happen. As long as Milroe doesn't make stupid mistakes, it will be a win for Bama.
the two sides of manziel: Unstoppable when you allow him to use his athletic ability, but when it comes to reading defenses and playing from the pocket, he was wildly inconsistent. Great throws, but taking a lot of sacks too.
No matter how much i try to get back into CFB, it's just not the same as this era. Johnny Football, De'Anthony Thomas, Montee Ball, Manti Te'o, Geno Smith and Tavon Austin, Kadeem Carey, etc.
This version of Johnny Manziel, for that one year....was THE most exciting player in college and I defy someone to name someone that year that was better. Cause Johnny did something to a Nick Saban coached defense that NOBODY had been able to do on a national stage, and that was absolutely torch Alabama throwing and running . 2012 Manziel got Sumlin a boatload of money and a monster renovation of Kyle Field
If Johnny Football was drafted today by a solid NFL team, his career could have been legendary. The way the NFL is nowadays where having a dual threat QB is starting to become a meta, he would be insane.
I'm a horns fan and I have to admit, it was a experience and a fun game to watch going for A&M. Our little brother beat the Tide that all claims untouchable! Way to go Aggies! But hook em' horns!

Now, 9 years later, history repeats
Hardly. With a hurt offense and horribly bad defense, it's not surprising that Bama finished with a Sugar Bowl victory over Kansas State by double digits. Still not a bad season honestly. It's going to be a grind-out defensively game here in the rematch. 2-9 against Bama in the last 11 matchups, so I guess you deserved that one but there's going to be another L in the stats for A&M for 2023. It might be by 3, or 23, but it'll still happen. As long as Milroe doesn't make stupid mistakes, it will be a win for Bama.
Little did he know, that long pass to Swope then that TD pass to Johnson to go up 29-17, those 2 passes changed his life forever.
He is hands down Texas AMs greatest quarterback,fact 🏆🏈😉👌
Manziel gave Saban, Nightmares, Heart Attacks, Seizures and Terrets during that game.
who here after club shay shay
1:28, such a key significant play, even the commentators were amazed.
Who's here after Taxes A&M beat Alabama 41-38 game winning Field Goal
Johnny was so electric in this game. A good memory from my college years.
the two sides of manziel: Unstoppable when you allow him to use his athletic ability, but when it comes to reading defenses and playing from the pocket, he was wildly inconsistent. Great throws, but taking a lot of sacks too.
No matter how much i try to get back into CFB, it's just not the same as this era. Johnny Football, De'Anthony Thomas, Montee Ball, Manti Te'o, Geno Smith and Tavon Austin, Kadeem Carey, etc.
After Alabama lost against them a couple of minutes ago a classic game and a wild finsh 38-41
Here after Shannon sharpe interview
Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Perfect timing too
this game, lsu vs bama 2019/2022, and auburn pick six and tenn vs bama are the 4 greatest games in my opinion
One of the most fun to watch college football games of all time regardless of who you root for.
I came here after watching his interview with Shannon sharpe
This aged well lol and Johnny was at the game last night.
This version of Johnny Manziel, for that one year....was THE most exciting player in college and I defy someone to name someone that year that was better. Cause Johnny did something to a Nick Saban coached defense that NOBODY had been able to do on a national stage, and that was absolutely torch Alabama throwing and running . 2012 Manziel got Sumlin a boatload of money and a monster renovation of Kyle Field
If Johnny Football was drafted today by a solid NFL team, his career could have been legendary. The way the NFL is nowadays where having a dual threat QB is starting to become a meta, he would be insane.
lmao wtf are you talking about he wasnt drafted in the 70s, is this your first year watching football?
No because he had issues off the field that would of kept him from becoming anything great.
He admitted himself that wouldn’t be true.. but man this kid had some talent
@@OGBarry16 college level talent yes
@@Loots1 perfect college player.. him and Tebow lol
I'm a horns fan and I have to admit, it was a experience and a fun game to watch going for A&M. Our little brother beat the Tide that all claims untouchable! Way to go Aggies! But hook em' horns!
thx big bro 👊👍
Sad how nobody talks about how tough A&M’s defense played
Just the way Johnny Football Runs with Style he was one hell of a runner with the football and he looked stylish doing it.
