During the offseason this last year, it was revealed that the University of Alabama would play Texas
A&M in week three of the college football season, which led to the most hyped game for the current season.

This past weekend the two teams played and they definitely did not disappoint. Although the Aggies struggled in the first half, they made a great comeback in the second half, barely losing by a single touchdown. Their comeback was led by the one and only Johnny Manziel. For those who don't know, Johnny likes to stir up trouble on and off the field. He's just a guy trying to live the college life, but can't because he is so scrutinized by the media for being the Heisman trophy winner. Honestly, Manziel didn't have a bad game. He threw for 464 yards, ran for 98 yards, and had five touchdowns.
They gave up 568 total yards and 42 points to the Crimson Tide. One of Manziel's interceptions was returned for a touchdown, giving Alabama a total of 49 points for the game. The Aggies can't keep relying on Johnny Manziel in order to win games; their defense needs to step up their

game also.
On the other side of the ball were the Alabama Crimson Tide. Led by their star quarterback A.J. McCarron, who had 334 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions, the Tide won 49-42. What made it an even more impressive win was the fact that they won on the road, at the historic Kyle Field in College Station. Although their defense started to slip at the end of the game, they were able to hold Manziel enough to prevent him from making a comeback. The Tide forced two interceptions, returning one for a touchdown. The interception by Vinnie Sunseri returned for a touchdown was fun to watch as he sidestepped Johnny Manziel on his way to the end zone. It was a poor display of defense by Manziel and made many people wonder why he can't tackle.
This football game will be considered
one of the best
of the entire season, and I will absolutely agree with that. It was a great game. Maybe with the win, the Crimson Tide will be able to shut the media up about Johnny Manziel. It would be nice to hear about something other than Johnny Manziel on ESPN.

The result so far under Andy Reid has been winning football.
Ath has been winning Alex Smith threw for 223 yards and two touchdowns, and the Chiefs defense held when it needed to in the fourth quarter for a 17-16 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs are playing mistake-free football for the first time in years.
The Chiefs haven't committed a turnover through the first two weeks, and that may be the biggest reason they've already matched their win total from all of last year. They're off to a 2-0 start for just the second time since 2005.
Jamaal Charles had a touchdown run for the Chiefs, who also got impassioned play from their defense for the second straight week. They've allowed only one touchdown through two games after forcing the Cowboys to settle for three field goals by Dan Bailey
on Sundav.
The most important stop came with 3:55 left. Tony Romo threw three straight incompletions to force Bailey to hit a 53-yarder to pull within 17-16, but the Cowboys defense couldn't get the ball back quickly enough to have a shot at a winning drive.
Romo finished 30 of 42 for 298 yards for the Cowboys (1-1). His favorite target was Dez Bryant, who had nine catches for 141 yards and their only touchdown.
The Chiefs, coming off an uplifting win at Jacksonville, were amped for Reid's first game as their coach at Arrowhead Stadium. A capacity crowd roared when they rolled onto the field in all-red uniforms, departing from their traditional white pants to signify the start of a new era.
They kept right on rolling, too. Kansas City marched 77 yards on the opening series,the highlight coming when Smith crushed 17 yards on third-and-15 and
executed a Fosbury Flop over a defender for a first down. Smith capped the drive with a short TD tosst to Charles.
That's when the Romo to-Bryant connection got on track.
connection goes out.
Bryant outwrestled cornerback Brandon Flowers for a 53-yard catch down the Dallas sideline that helped set up Bailey's 51-yard field goal. Later in the quarter, Bryant beat Flowers for a 38-yard reception that set up his own 2-yard TD catch and gave Dallas a 10-7 lead.
The Cowboys blocked Ryan Succop's 57-yard field-goal try to carry their lead into halftime, and then Bryant caught three more passes on the first drive of the third quarter to get Dallas in scoring position again. This time, Bailey knocked through a 30-yarder to pad the lead.
The Chiefs answered with their best drive of the game. Smith hit Donnie Avery for 31 yards to convert a third-and-10, and then hit Dwayne Bowe on a 12-yard slam
