The one thing standing between Bryce Young and the Heisman? Georgia's defense

In a season filled with gaudy statistics and jaw-dropping plays, Alabama quarterback Bryce Young finally had his so-called "Heisman moment" last Saturday in the Iron Bowl. Trailing by seven points on the road at Auburn with 1:35 remaining in regulation, he took over with the ball backed up against his own goal line and cooly marched the offense 97 yards down the field in 12 plays, capped off by a picturesque, 28-yard over-the-shoulder lob to Ja'Corey Brooks in the end zone.

Four overtimes later, Young hit John Metchie III in the chest for a successful 2-point conversion to cap off the comeback and keep Alabama's hopes of reaching the College Football Playoff alive.
