TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama quarterback Bryce Young’s five touchdown passes were nothing all that new for the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner.

A 63-yard sprint down the left sideline and other big runs presented a seldom seen side of Young’s game.

In addition to his touchdown passes — all in the first half — Young ran for 100 yards and a score in No. 1 Alabama’s 55-0 season-opening victory over Utah State on Saturday night.

“I just try to do whatever is best for this team, whatever the defense gives us,” Young said. “That’s definitely interesting. It definitely wasn’t something I was planning. For me, it’s just taking whatever the defense gives us.
