On the recordDecember 3, 2012
Madam Speaker, I rise in strong support of freshman sensation Johnny ``Football'' Manziel's quest to become the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy. He is a redshirt freshman quarterback at Texas A&M who has led the Texas Aggies to a 10-2 record this year, losing only to Florida, which is currently ranked No. 3 in the Nation, and to LSU, which I believe is currently ranked No. 7 in the Nation. He has broken the record for total offense, not once but twice this year, in the Southeastern Conference. His total offense for the year exceeds that of both Cam Newton's, of Auburn, and Tim Tebow's, of Florida, when they were playing, and they both won the Heisman Trophy in their years. Texas A&M is going to play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl on January 7. It would be a supreme blessing if the Heisman Trophy voters for the first time were to vote for Johnny ``Football'' Manziel, quarterback of the fighting Texas Aggies. ____________________
