When Alabama needed it most, Bryce Young engineered another game-saving drive for the Crimson Tide. After the narrow 20-19 win over Texas, Nick Saban was asked what makes Young such a special QB.
After joking about not having the ability to know why Young is so good, Saban praised Young’s smarts and preparation. Saban, a noted basketball enthusiast, then used a hoops analogy to describe his Heisman Trophy-winning signal-caller.
“He’s very, very instinctive. He plays quarterback like a point guard in basketball,” Saban told reporters. “He’s got talent, but he doesn’t just play with his talent.”

Young finished 27-of-39 for 213 yards and a touchdown. He may already have his “Heisman moment” for the campaign to pick up a second stiff army trophy.
