Texas A&M Football: Remembering Johnny Manziel’s top 10 moments
2. It’s a pass- no, run- no, pass
One of the most epic comebacks in bowl history, the Aggies were down big to a Duke team that was firing on all cylinders. On the way to clawing back to the lead, this play got the Aggies back into the Chick-fil-A Bowl.
The commentators were counting down the top Johnny Manziel moments as the game went on, and Manziel went and added one to the reel before the night was over. This 19-yard pass to Taylor Labhart wasn’t the first, second, third, or checkdown read, but he scored all the same. This game was Johnny’s final one in the Aggies’ uniform, and he left on one heck of a high note.
The entire second half, you could feel Johnny willing the team to success, and sure enough, the Aggies took over. The camera kept finding him on the sidelines imploring the defense to give him the ball so he could bring the pain to a tired Blue Devils defense. They gave him a few stops and turnovers, and he came back with a win for the ages.
