Tuscaloosa, AL-The Crimson Tide avenged their only loss of 2012 by overwhelming Texas A&M, 59-0. Johnny Manziel's first visit to Tuscaloosa made him the front runner in the Heisman race, but this trip was miserable. Manziel's offense could manage only 188 yards and 9 first downs in the shutout.

The Alabama offense was hitting on all cylinders. T.J. Yeldon led the ground attack with 158 yards rushing, and Eddie Lacy added 110 rushing and another 69 receiving. A.J. McCarron was excellent, throwing for 251 yards and 3 TD. The Crimson Tide will host Florida State in the NCAA Semifinals next weekend, as the road to the NCAA Championship now goes through Tuscaloosa.
