On January 4th 2013 in Arlington Texas, the A&M Aggies took on the Oklahoma Sooners. A&M took a quick 7-0 lead when Johnny Mainzel ran it in the in zone. Oklahoma drove the ball down the field but couldn’t find the in zone so they kicked a field goal for 3.

In the second quarter the Sooners got a quick three points. Johnny Mainzel responded with another touchdown! The Sooners offense drove the ball down the field and Landry Jones threw a six yard dump to Justin Brown to make the score 13-14.

The Oklahoma Sooners didn’t score one more point the whole game, and A&M just went off. The final score was 41-13. The Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Mainzel was a big factor to A&M’s win. Johnny finished the game with 2 throwing touchdowns, 2 rushing touchdowns, 17 carries and 229 rushing yards, and 287 passing yards. Tony Garza (7) said “It was an awesome performance!” Congrats A&M on a great season!
