Post Johnny Manziel Era Looks Good For Texas A&M, Aggies Pound Gamecocks 52-28

New Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill not only had Aggie fans forgetting about Johnny Manziel, Hill wipe out Johnny Football from the Aggie record books too.

Hill broke Manziel's school single game passing record throwing for 511 yards as Texas A&M routed South Carolina 52-28 breaking the Gamecocks 18 game home win streak.


Do we start the Kenny Hill Heisman Trophy campaign now?  Please no Kenny Football references.

It was obvious the Texas A&M played with a chip on their shoulder trying to prove that their will be no drop off after Manziel moved on to the NFL.

“You know, basically, nobody gave us a chance to even be close in this game,”Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin said. “All I heard last week was [we’re] two-touchdown [underdogs] and if we could keep it close it would be great.”

“I think what we did tonight showed that really, we’re not a one-trick pony,”Sumlin said. “You know, we are not anywhere near where we want to be – [but] we’re not going anywhere, anytime soon.”

The Aggies put up 680 yards on South Carolina's offense.

"We got manhandled," South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier said. "We got clobbered tonight."

The head ball coach was humbled by the Aggies performance at Columbia.

"That team is so much better than us, it wasn't funny," Spurrier said.

South Carolina fans were a little shell shocked too as this string of sound bites from WIS-TV in Columbia, South Carolina shows.


wistv.com - Columbia, South Carolina |
As a post script to Kenny Hill's 511 yards passing he becomes the sixth SEC quarterback to surpass 500 yards.  Here's the list:
Eric Zeier - Georgia
Jared Lorenzen - Kentucky
Rohan Davey - LSU
Peyton Manning - Tennessee
Tyler Wilson - Arkansas
Kenny Hill - Texas A&M

Duke Found Out That You Can't Stop Johnny Football

The legend of Johnny Football added a new and perhaps final chapter at the Chick-Fil-A Bowl Tuesday night.

In what many (and those of us in the OSG HQ) believe was the final game for Johnny Manziel in a Texas A&M uniform led an Aggie rally with a performance typical of his moniker "Johnny Football"

Texas A&M was trailing Duke 38-17 at halftime then the Aggies got serious.  Manziel led Texas A&M to 35 second half points to lead the Aggies to victory 52-48.

Thanks 12thManTV


Here's sound with Johnny Manziel and his Texas A&M teammates.  You will notice Manziel will not spill the beans when asked about declaring for the NFL draft. Thanks 12thManTV



As Manziel said in that sound bite he felt he was in the zone and wanted this game.  His final stats prove that.

Manziel complete 30 of 38 passes for 382 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 71 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground.

Duke head coach David Cutcliffe has tutored some great NFL quarterbacks and knows a great on when he sees one.  Coach Cutcliffe saw one in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.

"He (Manziel )was special.  Just like you knew, he was able to create plays." Cutcliffe said. "One of the touchdowns there early in the second half, you know, looked like we had him down three times.  He's so strong.  I mean, he's really strong. "

Johnny Football Says He's Ready For The National Football League

Never accuse Johnny Manziel (aka, Johnny Football) of being to full of himself.

The 2012 Heisman Trophy winner will be seeking advice from others before making a final decision about the NFL Draft but Manziel self-assess himself rather high.

“In my mind, I think I am,” Manziel said in a press gathering.

That's a big hint as to Manziel's intentions following Texas A&M's Chick-Fil-A Bowl game against Duke.

“I feel like I’m playing, for the most part, at a really high level of football. I’m putting the ball where I want it to be and I’m throwing it with a lot of velocity.” Manziel said.

Manziel did have a strong year finishing ninth in the NCAA in passing averaging 311 passing yards per game, just ahead of Jameis Winston who many feel will win the Heisman Trophy Saturday.

While Manziel will get the input from his head coach Kevin Sumlin and from George Whitfield, Jr. who privately tutors quarterbacks.

“You don’t want to go and be unprepared for the National Football League and leave two years on the table." Manziel said. "It all comes down to making the best decision for you. Whether you’re ready. Whether teams are quarterback-needy. You look at all your factors.”

Manziel will but you get the impression his mind is made up and will play his last game for the Aggies at the Chick-Fil-A bowl.
