Last Saturday Alabama fans and players witnessed something that’s likely never been seen before.

A visibly emotional Bryce Young.

Following the conclusion of the first quarter against Ole Miss, Young rallied the offense together to have an intense discussion over the disappointing start to the game.

The clip went viral following the game due mostly due to the surprising showing of Young’s emotions as he is known for being the calmest player in the sport.

Like many, former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy shared his own reaction to the clip on his podcast Always College Football.

“The first quarter, I’m not sure it could have been worse for the Crimson Tide,” McElroy said. “You saw Bryce Young, hadn’t really seen him show a lot of emotion on the sideline. First time I’ve really seen him show emotion on the sideline and issue challenges to a lot of other folks that are on that offense. I was very impressed

“I thought the leadership and the display of leadership felt much stronger this week from the Crimson Tide. That was a difficult environment against a good team and yet they found a way to get it done.”
