Stanford coach David Shaw said what a lot of us were writing: "It's obvious to me that Nick wanted to plant that and make sure people knew that. While the high figure was questioned at the time, sources told CBS Sports that it was accurate. Off the field, we got a glimpse at his potential when coach Nick Saban remarked last summer that his quarterback could earn $1 million in income from his name, image and likeness rights. By that time, Kingsbury had matriculated to the NFL himself riding another Heisman winner in Kyler Murray. By the time Young's Class of 2020 signed, Patrick Mahomes - Texas Tech's quarterback when Young was offered - had won a Super Bowl and become an NFL MVP. Give Kingsbury credit for having an eye for talent. It's hard to believe Bryce Young received his first offer from Texas Tech at age 14. There is no quarterback I'd want to have on my team." "Instead of saying, when he missed a throw, 'What are you doing?' it became more collaborative," Craig said of his son's younger days. Nurturing oversight replaced overbearing. It was a bigger statement given Craig's epiphany. In that moment, Young put the team on his back. That's quite a statement in a program steeped in so much history.
"… Anyone in the past wasn't going to help us in the future." We all understood what was at stake," Young said. "I could tell by looking at everyone's eyes. By that margin, the Tide kept their SEC and playoff hopes alive. Young drove his team 97 yards to tie the game with 24 seconds left. It was there at his own 3, needing a touchdown to tie the Tigers, when all that training, all that competitiveness came into play. The closeness of those SEC wins might have raised more questions than they answered until 1:35 seconds remained at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Three wins by a touchdown or less (LSU, Arkansas, Auburn) were sandwiched around the annual nonconference laugher (New Mexico State). What followed transformed the player and his team.
