So what did it mean to VY to win the 2005 BCS National Championship game? Young sat down with Aaron Murray as part of the Campus Lore Championship Moments series presented by Amway and XS Energy Drink to give some insight:
“Yeah, it was a beautiful moment,” Young stated. “Not only just for us as players but as well as our fans. They stuck with us through all the years. My teammates, we put in all the hard work in the offseason. Guys going to class. Guys doing what they were supposed to do, being accountable. Just the small things like that can really change your team if everyone is on the same page. On one accord to go to a championship game because it is not easy. I want people to know that it is not easy at all, to go to a championship.”
