Bryce Young earns praise from John Metchie for Heisman moment versus Auburn

People want to see if he can take down Georgia in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, but Bryce Young’s Heisman moment came in the Iron Bowl against Auburn.

Sometimes, the best situations come under pressure. Young had his worst completion rating of the season and got sacked seven times. The Tigers were rocking at Jordan-Hare Stadium and everything that could go wrong happened to Alabama’s offense.

Auburn held a 10-3 lead in the fourth quarter with 1:27 left in regulation.

The Crimson Tide had no timeouts and the ball on its 3-yard line. Ninety-seven yards separated Alabama’s College Football Playoff hopes and Young’s opportunity at the Heisman Trophy.
