Former Bama QB: Watson needs Young-esque performance to beat Tide

PARADISE VALLEY, AZ – Vince Young mesmerized the college football world with his epic performance in the 2006 Rose Bowl against USC when he ran for 200 yards and passed for 267 more, leading Texas to a 41-38 victory and the national championship.

One former Alabama quarterback thinks Deshaun Watson can have that kind of performance.

Former Tide signal caller Greg McElroy currently serves as an analyst for the SEC Network and is also a college football radio host. On Friday, he was in Phoenix to talk about the Tide’s upcoming contest against Clemson in the College Football Playoff National Championship, and he said he admires how Watson plays the game.
