Bryce Young's heroics help No. 1 Alabama escape with 20-19 win over Texas

Bryce Young was not going to let Texas beat Alabama.

The No. 1 Crimson Tide survived a major scare from Texas after scoring with 10 seconds left in a 20-19 win. Texas took a 19-17 lead with 1:29 to go on a Bert Auburn field goal but Young continued to show why he was the 2021 Heisman winner with a fantastic fourth quarter.

"When his best was needed, it was really good," Alabama coach Nick Saban said after the game.

Young was absolutely phenomenal over the final 15 minutes and his 20-yard scramble after a fantastic escape from the pocket set up Will Richard’s game-winning 32-yard kick.
