Young has turned in a stellar season for Alabama completing 68 percent of his passes and throwing for 4,322 yards and 43 touchdowns. The sophomore solidified his stance as the top signal-caller in the country with a tremendous performance in the SEC Championship game last Saturday.
Against Georgia Young threw for 421 yards and accounted for four total touchdowns in the 41-24 victory.
Young now awaits the Heisman Trophy ceremony on Saturday as he is also the favorite to take home that honor.
