NCAA Game Summary - Duke vs. Texas A&M

Atlanta, GA (SportsNetwork.com) - Johnny Manziel might have played his last game at Texas A&M, but he made it a thriller as the 20th-ranked Aggies took a 52-48 win over No. 22 Duke in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Trailing by 21 points to start the second half, Manziel guided Texas A&M on four touchdown drives after the break before Toney Hurd gave the Aggies their only lead of the game with a 55-yard interception return for a touchdown with 3:33 to play.

Texas A&M's defense then sealed the victory with another interception of Anthony Boone with 1:18 remaining.

While it's not known if he will declare for the NFL Draft, Manziel is eligible to enter it and will make his decision known after finishing his 2013 season on a very positive note.

Manziel went 30-for-38 for 382 yards and four touchdown passes, adding 11 carries for 73 yards and another score for the Aggies (9-4), who came into the game having dropped their final two games of the regular season.

Travis Labhart caught three of Manziel's scoring passes and finished the game with seven catches for 76 yards.

Boone was 29-for-45 for 427 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions, also adding a score on the ground for the Blue Devils (10-4), who closed the season with two straight losses after getting crushed by Florida State in the ACC Championship.
