Johnny Manziel really got A&M going with a 29 yard scamper on a quarterback draw to move his team into the red zone, and then Christine Michael would punch it in for a one yard score and a 7-0 lead.

An A&M interception would lead to more Manziel, finding Kendric McNeal for 32 yards and then bouncing around to hit Ryan Swope in the end zone to make it 14-0. After another Alabama drive stalled, a Manziel 32 yard scamper would set up another Michael touchdown to put A&M up 20-0.

Alabama got going on their next drive, with an A.J. McCarron connection with Michael Williams setting up an early T.J. Yeldon touchdown rush. The Tide would score on their next drive to make it 20-14 before halftime. In the third quarter, McCaron would connect with Lacy to set up a Jeremy Shelley field goal and cut A&M's lead to 20-17.

A&M would make one of two field goals, then force a fumble on a promising Alabama drive. The Aggies struck quickly, with Manziel hitting Ryan Swope for 42 yards and Malcome Kennedy for a 24 yard touchdown to make it 29-17.

Alabama would try to rally one last time, as McCarron would then come up with two big throws to Amari Cooper (for a 54 yard touchdown) and Kenny Bell (also 54 yards to set Alabama in the red zone for a potential game-tying score). But after McCarron was stuffed on a 3rd down scramble, his 4th down throw was intercepted and A&M hung on for the upset.
