All good questions Jagsfan. I'll try to respond in parts

 

Quote:Alabama had a top rated defense, what made it so Johnny was able to not get beat down?

I don't want to sound trite, but I can only describe Manziel in that game as magic. There's no rhyme or reason that he should have done as good as he did, O-line and Wide Receivers aside.

Saban had been planning, no literally coniving to stop him for over a year, to get his revenge. And well, he didn't. I've never seen a player be so unstoppable than during that game. I personally love Saban. I'm actually a bigger Tide fan than I am A&M fan. But  I think few if any who watched that entire game would ever walk away talking about the 0-line or the receiving core of A&M.

Football is and will always be a team game. But if you were ever looking for a '1 man show' on a collegiate football field, that game would likely be the closest we'll ever get.
