Texas A&M 29 – Alabama 24

1. Aggies bolt out to 20-0 lead and hang on to give Alabama first loss of the season.

2. Texas A&M defensive end Damontre Moore: “Words can’t describe how this feels.”

3. Aggies defense generates two turnovers that lead to scores and an interception on a goal-line stand.

4. Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel throws for 253 yards and rushes for 92. Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley: ”He had to make his plays and he made his plays.”

5. Manziel teammate Joseph Cheek: “He’s the best athlete I’ve ever seen,” Cheek said. “He can do anything.” A new nickname?

6. Jeremy Fowler: “No. 2 should also get familiar with No. 78, the number of years in the Heisman Trophy’s existence — all without a freshman winner.”

7. The hard count that cost Alabama one final chance at getting the football.

8. Alabama running back Eddie Lacy: We knew we could run the ball,” he said, “but you can’t run the ball every play.”

9. Nick Saban: “Two of the three national championship teams I coached lost a game.”

10. Ivan Maisel: “Aggies may have to rename themselves the Trojan Horses.”

Trojan Horses?

After UF looked like ..... words escape me, the Aggies looked incredible. Bama looked terrific in the second half, and I think if AJ had been a little more on his game in the first, this would have been a much different game. But its football, you play with the team that shows up, and the Ags proved they can play with anybody this year. Very happy we got them on game one and not game 9, 10,11 or 12. What a great, exciting two halfs of football. Bama never quit and A&M proved they can figure out how to play both sides of the ball all game long. By far the best football game I watched this year. Exciting all the way to the end.

Tryng for a well-reasoned, calm, composed, insightful comment to all those talking heads, sportswriters, and comment posts that swore Texas A&M was crazy and would not be able to compete in SEC football. Something like: "IN YOUR FACE YOU PRETENTIOUS ARROGANT JERKS (especially you haughty t-sip imbeciles)!!!

ok I feel better

What are the chances that Alabama or Georgia play in the National Championship game?

The win is kind of bitter sweet, we beat #1, but may have ended the Championship streak.

The chances are better than many believe. All top three undefeated teams have games they could lose. Kansas State - Baylor, Texas; Irish - Wake, USC; Stanford, Oregon St, and Pac 12 championship game. Stranger things have happened.
