Voting for the award closed Saturday night, Young made a strong case for the trophy before the buzzer by going 26-of-44 passing for 421 yards and 3 touchdowns in Alabama’s win over Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.
Young also won the Davey O’Brien Award for top quarterback during Thursday’s awards show on ESPN.
