Johnny Manziel lived up to the hype tonight as he accumulated 562 total yards, 464 passing and 5 touchdowns against the Alabama Crimson Tide.
This was a career best for Manziel and also set a school record.

Texas A&M opened up up to a 14 point lead but Alabama then took control at 35-14.
A fumble for Alabama at the goal line and an eventual score got Texas A&M back in the game, but they could never pull back ahead.
The game ended with Alabama on top 49 - 42.
There were 1,196 total yards gained in the game, 628 by A&M and 568 by Alabama. But it was the costly turnovers that did Texas A&M in.
"That's on me," Johnny Manziel said. "It's either our ball or nobody's. I know that, and I know better than that."
Texas A&M's Evans finished the game with a school record 279 yards on seven catches.
