Tagovailoa’s record is safe, but Young is going out in style. After a 1-4 start throwing the ball, Young has flipped a switch in New Orleans. He’s currently 12-of-17 for 248 yards and 4 touchdowns. The 4th TD, No. 79, came early in the 3rd quarter after Kansas State attempted an onside kick on the opening kick. Young found Ja’Corey Brooks, the fourth different receiver to catch a TD Saturday.
