2. Bryce Young is a winner

Alabama fans, and most people watching the games, would be the first to tell you that Bill O’Brien just hasn’t lived up to expectations this year and some would even argue that he’s holding Bryce Young back.

Yet, despite O’Brien’s best efforts, Young had himself a nice day and led the Tide to a win.

If you search “Bryce Young” on Twitter, you’ll see dozens of fans and college football experts knocking O’Brien for another lackluster outing while simultaneously praising Young. He’s really putting the offense on his back and he continues to win games.

Nick Saban has to love what he’s seen from his veteran quarterback and while he may not win the Heisman this year, he’s playing as well as anyone at the position in the nation.

Young is just a winner and this was the perfect game to prove that.
