The most memorable moment for Texas A&M fans in the series with Alabama involves a freshman quarterback who wore No. 2.

The name of that player, Johnny Manziel, has been invoked often this week as the No. 6 Aggies face No. 1 Alabama, with the Aggies a heavy underdog Saturday at Bryant-Denny Stadium.

Once again, a freshman quarterback will be wearing that number in this game.
