Alabama’s Heisman-winning quarterback, Bryce Young, met with media members to answer questions and offer updates on the Crimson Tide’s preparations for the 2021 Cotton Bowl College Football Playoff Semifinal matchup against Cincinnati.
The Crimson Tide will enter the game as the top-ranked team facing off against the No. 4 Bearcats. The winner of the Cotton Bowl will meet with the Orange Bowl winner between No. 2 Michigan and No. 3 Georgia for the national championship.
Young explained that wearing crimson and being a part of such a dynastic program doesn’t mean the wins are handed to the team. He and his teammates carry the mindset that it all must be earned, one step at a time.
Bryce Young on handling the hype and expectations at Alabama: "We understand we have to earn everything, we have to take everything, and we're on that push as a team to put ourselves in the best position when it comes to Friday."#RollTide #CFBPlayoff #BamaFactor pic.twitter.com/MbINV1g3SE
