Mac Jones is still the undeniable starting quarterback for Alabama. He’s a Heisman Trophy candidate, and outside of a lone interception, he looked spectacular against Kentucky on Saturday.
With all that being said, the Crimson Tide has a backup quarterback that could start for most other teams around the country. It’s a familiar name, too.
Bryce Young entered the game against the Wildcats midway through the third quarter. He proceeded to make a couple jaw-dropping throws, including his first career touchdown pass.

We are SO lucky to have Bryce Young.

Earlier on the drive, the former five-star prospect made another throw that had Alabama fans salivating. That throw was also to star senior wide receiver DeVonta Smith.

It is hard to believe that Young is the Crimson Tide’s second-team quarterback, but that’s the sort of depth that has helped Nick Saban build one of the best college football dynasties of all time.
