What was supposed to be the biggest game of the season for Texas A&M is getting a special visitor.

That special visitor is the last Aggies quarterback to beat Alabama. Johnny "Football" Manziel announced on Twitter he plans on attending Saturday's game at Kyle Field.

Manziel hopes to bring some good vibes to help the current Aggies best the Crimson Tide for the first time since his Aggies did.

In 2012, A&M's first season in the SEC, Manziel helped orchestrate a program-defining win over Nick Saban's Alabama team that went 13-1 and won the national championship.

A&M's victory over Alabama helped propel Manziel to the Heisman Trophy as the award's first-ever freshman winner.

Since then, A&M is 0-8 against the Crimson Tide. The Aggies are 2-11 all-time in the series.

The Aggies will be with backup quarterback Zach Calzada for his fourth start in a row since starter Haynes King went down in the second game of the season against Colorado.

Calzada and the Aggies have struggled. Texas A&M is 3-2 overall and 0-2 in conference.

But a win over the No. 1 team in the country would do wonders for the A&M season, as well as boost the confidence of the struggling quarterback.

Perhaps the presence of Johnny Football provides the boost the Aggies need to do the unthinkable Saturday.
