Alabama football’s Bryce Young is performing at a remarkably high level against a historically good defense with some of the highest stakes possible. Young is almost certainly having his Heisman moment as the Crimson Tide clashes with the Georgia Bulldogs.
In the first half against the Bulldogs, Young threw for 286 yards and two touchdowns while also running for 40 yards and another score. He’s been remarkable on seemingly every single opportunity, showing up and helping Alabama score 24 points in one quarter against a defense that typically permits fewer than seven points a game.
