With health uncertain, Alabama's Bryce Young sliding in college football quarterback rankings

It's becoming more difficult to rank Alabama's Bryce Young near the top of a list of the nation's best quarterbacks simply due to his unavailability: Young missed a huge chunk of the No. 1 Crimson Tide's win against Arkansas and all of last Saturday's narrow escape against Texas A&M.

Young may return this weekend against No. 8 Tennessee, lead the Tide to an impressive road win against the unbeaten Volunteers and springboard himself back into Heisman Trophy contention. It's clear that Alabama's offense is a different beast with him under center, supporting the idea that Young is the most impactful single player in the country.
