COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Johnny Football and No. 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. The difference on Saturday night was that the Aggies defence was solid, too. Johnny Manziel accounted for 346 yards with three touchdowns in just more than a half to help Texas A&M cruise to a 42-13 win over SMU. Texas A&M (3-1) was up 32-6 at halftime, and Manziel led the Aggies to a touchdown on their first drive of the third quarter before the Heisman Trophy winner went to the bench. The defence, which struggled as it dealt with suspensions early this season, had given up 36 points a game through the first three games. Defensive co-ordinator Mark Snyder made some personnel changes this week to help the Aggies improve. "Weve still got some areas weve got to work on, but a much better game from our side of the ball," Snyder said. "Were still a work in progress, for sure, but as long as I keep seeing improvement each week I think well be fine." It was a nice bounce-back game for Texas A&M after falling to top-ranked Alabama 49-42 last week. "I think we learned some valuable lessons a week ago," A&M coach Kevin Sumlin said. "I think we can get a little bit more confidence coming out of this game with our defence." Manziel had 244 yards passing with a touchdown and ran for 102 yards and two more scores. "We tried a little of everything," SMU coach June Jones said of trying to slow Manziel. "Hes an amazing player. You blitz him and hes accurate with the ball. You rush three, and he can scramble around and make it last forever. Hes a great college football player and hes in the perfect system." The Aggies have scored at least 40 points in each of their first four games for the first time in school history. Deshazor Everett returned a fumble 12 yards for a touchdown, and Ben Malena ran for 71 yards and two scores. He got things going for A&M with a 3-yard touchdown run in the first quarter. Former Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert threw for 310 yards and a touchdown with an interception for SMU (1-2). Despite the lopsided score, Texas A&Ms performance was far from flawless. The Aggies missed three straight PATs in the second quarter and were penalized 13 times for 114 yards. The Mustangs didnt play any cleaner, and piled up 16 penalties for 111 yards. The Aggies took a 14-0 lead when Manziel sidestepped a defender before high-stepping over another one en route to the end zone on a 7-yard run later in the first. Texas A&M recovered an onside kick and was driving again when a pass by Manziel was deflected and intercepted by Hayden Greenbauer. The Mustangs cut the lead to 14-3 when the ensuing drive resulted in a 42-yard field goal by Chase Hover. Manziel rolled out and found Malcome Kennedy on a 16-yard touchdown pass that extended the lead to 20-3 early in the second quarter. Taylor Bertolets kick failed. Manziels second 7-yard touchdown run made it 32-3 just more than three minutes later, but Bertolet missed again. Jeremiah Gaines fumbled after a reception on the first play of SMUs next drive, and Everett scooped it up and returned it for the score. Sumlin had seen enough of Bertolet and brought in Josh Lambo to attempt the PAT. But holder Drew Kaser fumbled the snap, and the kick was blocked. Sumlin said Bertolet and Lambo will compete for the job. A 47-yard field goal by Hover as time expired in the second quarter left A&M up 32-6 at halftime. Manziel had a nifty run on A&Ms first possession after halftime. He evaded three defenders that had hands on him to dash down the sideline on a 20-yard run. Malenas 1-yard run two plays later -- and a made extra point by Lambo -- made it 39-6. He was replaced by Matt Joeckel, who started A&Ms opener while Manziel served an NCAA suspension. Joeckel threw for 63 yards before Sumlin brought in freshman Kenny Hill. Lambos 40-yard field goal extended A&Ms lead to 42-6 near the end of the third quarter. A 31-yard touchdown reception by Keenan Holman made it 42-13 early in the fourth quarter. Holman finished with 10 receptions for 133 yards.

Can we get a one-way ticket to (minor-league) Hamilton for David Desharnais please.As Jurgen Klopp prepares to take Liverpool to Wembley for Sundays Capital One Cup final against Manchester City, he sat down with Sky Sports to discuss fan expectations, cup finals, why hes not Santa Claus and his own take on his first five months at Anfield... Such is Jurgen Klopps charisma, you sense he could get his message across with only glares, glances, screams and smiles. But his English is impressive too. And yet, just occasionally, even hes reminded that this is not his native tongue.There was the time at his opening press conference when he spoke of delivering titles. In Germany, the word title and trophy are interchangeable. He was not promising the Premier League but rather the sort of trips that will take Liverpool to Wembley on Sunday. Another example came earlier in this competition when, after the semi-final victory over Stoke, Klopp told Sky Sports that Liverpool will win the cup regardless of their opponent in the final. Sometimes I dont use the words will and want in the right way, he explains.The German word will is the English word want, so thats a little bit of the problem. Of course, I am not sure that we will win this but we want to, for sure. Thats the only reason you are part of a competition like this.Liverpool havent been part of these occasions enough. While its only four years since the club won the Capital One Cup under Kenny Dalglish, Klopp is still able to call it a long time without fear of contradiction. Expectations are always there at Liverpool.Raising those expectations can be a delicate balancing act. Roy Hodgson paid the price for dampening them, while Brendan Rodgers brought hope before crushing disappointment. Klopp feels like the man to unleash them, but he too acknowledges the scale of the task. Aguero v Sturridge Could this be the key battle in the Capital One Cup final on Sunday? The whole situation is a challenge, he says. Liverpool is a club with a big, big, big history and all the clubs in the world have a big history if the present is not too successful. If you have never had success then nobody knows how it is but in Liverpool everybody knows how it was. Thats part of the problem.There is a lot of pressure on the situation. Thats normal. The challenge is to stay cool enough to handle the pressure in the moment so that you can succeed in the future. It needs time, nobody wants to hear it but thats the truth, if you want to have success in the future you have to be ready to work now. Thats the job.There are many reasons why Rodgers lost that job. But for all the transfer follies, a final-day thrashing at Stoke, the loss of key players and Premier League matches, for Liverpool fans returning to Wembley, its memories of an FA Cup semi-final that will flood back on Sunday.The sight of a disjointed team tactically outwitted by Tim Sherwoods Aston Villa ended Rodgers hopes of delivering silverware and crystallised the situation at Anfield. If that brings bad memories, Klopps own return to Wembley sparks mixed emotions. Jurgen Klopps previous Wembley experience ended in Champions League defeat The 2013 Champions League final between Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich couldve been his crowning glory. But Arjen Robbens late goal denied his side. It was two things, one of the best days in my life and one of the worst days in my life, he admits.Thats how it is if you go to a final and cant win it. The qualification for the final was a great journey and to lose the final is not the best thing, of course. But its a great stadium so it was not because of the stadium. Everything is okay with me and Wembley.Although Klopp won the double with Dortmund in 2012, cup finals havent been particularly kind to the 48-year-old German. He still recalls Mats Hummels being denied a second-half goal that would have given his side the lead over Bayern in the 2014 cup final.It was a goal and everybody saw afterwards that it was a goal at a very important moment and it would have decided the game, he recalls. But the referee disallowed it and then they make the goal so you lose the final.Even his final match as Dortmund boss failed to provide the perfect ending - beaten 3-1 by Wolfsburg. So any empathy with his Manchester City counterpart Manuel Pellegrini, a man looking to bow out with a trophy, comes with a caveat. I lost my last final with my former club so its not a guarantee, he says.Just because you want to give a present doesnt mean you can give a present. I have maximum respect for the work Manuel did but we are not Santa Claus, they have a few other opportunities and if they want they can take one of these. I have maximum respect for the work Manuel did but we are not Santa Claus. Jurgen Klopp on why there will be no presents for Man City Klopp gives the impressiion that he fancies his chances against Pellegrini and its easy to imagine why after that 4-1 away win in November.dddddddddddd Liverpool overwhelmed City that day with an energy that brought the worst out in their hosts. They seemed sluggish by comparison.It was really good, says Klopp. It was one of our best games, for sure, but it was necessary against Man City because you cant play at 60, 70, 80 or 90 per cent, you have to bring your best on the pitch. Thats what we did in this game.Usually you use the last two or three games before to analyse but in this case when you have already played against each other you use that game too. We will do the same but its different. More important is the moment. That was long ago. Simon Mignolet believes winning the League Cup this weekend could have a similar effect on Liverpool as it did on Chelsea at the start of Jose Mourinhos reign Of course, in that time the style of Man City didnt change, they break the rhythm all the time, they play really cool and slow until they speed up and they accelerate and they have outstanding individual quality.You have to try to give them as many questions as possible in the game, so they cannot do what they want to do, whats easy for them, whats their plan. So we will be prepared, no doubt about this, and we have to show our best performance. Man City 1 Liverpool 4 Will Liverpool win again? Five clues from the last clash. Those performance levels have fluctuated more than he would have liked since arriving to much excitement in October. So whats Klopps verdict so far? Not great, he says. It could have been better, it could have been worse. But we feel in a good way, thats the truth.We know about all our problems. We know about all our good things that we have done until now. Of course, at the end we can say it is not enough points, thats how it is, but there are always reasons for this, thats all we can say.What I recognised since Ive been here, every one of the players is obviously keen to win titles, to win cups - its not possible for us this year in the league to win something so we have to be fully concentrated in this tournament. We have to handle the pressure.If you want something with all you have, it sometimes makes the pressure too big. Football is a game and you have to act like youre in a game, you have to gamble, you have to be cheeky, enjoy the game, if you only feel pressure then you cannot play your best football.How cheeky hell be on Sunday remains to be seen. There wont be a repeat of the infamous 1996 FA Cup final - I heard about this, one time in the past there was one Liverpool squad who came in white suits - but his squad will be suited up. And they will be ready.Its a final so its not important how good you are usually, it is only important how good you are in this game so its a big chance for us. Its a chance and thats all I need. You should not waste opportunities of winning titles and cups and Im ready for winning something. You should not waste opportunities of winning titles and cups and Im ready for winning something. Jurgen Klopp on the search for silverware this Sunday Im not the guy to sit here and say for sure, we will win it because I know football. [But] for all the effort of our supporters - the time, money and kilometres - they put in to go to the games, it would be really nice if we could celebrate this big thing together.And in the perfect setting? The name is a really good sound. Wembley, Klopp adds, appearing fascinated by the very word as it tumbles from his lips. Going there is one of the best things you can do in life - sports life - and one time is not enough.Im there for a second time… hopefully with a better ending.
