Bryce Young holds the record for most passing yards in a single game by an Alabama quarterback and paved the way for the seventh victory for the team

OXFORD, MISSISSIPPI: Fans hail Alabama football quarterback Bryce Young for paving the way for the huge victory of the team against Ole Miss. This will be Alabama's seventh straight win in the SEC CFP Top-15 showdown.

However, Alabama got eliminated from SEC Championship after LSU sealed a victory over Arkansas. With this, the Heisman Trophy winner who will depart for the NFL next spring will have to wrap up his career in Alabama football without a national championship, reported Tucaloosanews.com.

Alabama (8-2, 5-2 SEC) won even after allowing 403 yards. Young went 21-for-33 with 209 yards and three touchdowns, whereas Ole Miss player, Jaxson went 18-31 with 212 yards and one touchdown, reported athletic.com. The 21-year-old used the overturn call to cut the lead to three with an 8-yard touchdown. Meanwhile, he tied the game late in the third quarter when he rolled out Ja'Corey Brooks in the back of the end zone for a 5-yard touchdown. 

Young began his career in American football as the backup to junior quarterback Mac Jones throughout the 2020 season. Later, he played as the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback. He threw for 559 yards to break the Alabama school record for passing yards in a game. Scott Hunter held the previous record. He is the recipient of Heisman Trophy following the end of the 2021 season, becoming the first Alabama quarterback to win the award. 

'He makes the extraordinary look easy'

The Internet quickly reacted to Young's performance. One of the former players of University of Alabama, Riley said, "if Bryce Young plays a million games I will watch them. if Bryce Young plays ten games i will watch them. if Bryce Young plays no more games. that means i am no more on the earth. if world against Bryce Young, i am against the world. i love Bryce Young till my last breath." Another said, "If no one got me Bryce Young got me." "If Alabama fired their offensive coordinator at halftime and just let Bryce Young call plays, they'd win by 2 TDs. O'Brien is killing this team," said, famous player Brandon Walker. Chris Owens, football quarterback stated, "Bryce Young is the best Quarterback in America and this is not a discussion."

A user claimed, "No doubt .. He deserved a better team and coaching staff around him." Another said, "Bryce Young is one of the best Quarterbacks. College football fans have been blessed this year with many play makers at the position. Go Vols!!!!" "No arguments, he's keeping a lousy team somewhat relevant," said another. David Pollack stated, "What Bryce Young has done this year is more impressive than what he did last year when he won the heisman! He makes the extraordinary look easy! He is Steph Curry!!." "Bryce Young really got stuck with the worst Bama team in over a decade," claimed another.
