Longhorns Daily News: For Texas, the test comes in the form of Alabama’s Bryce Young

The Texas Longhorns have a test of all tests this weekend against the top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide. Part of that test will come in the form of the 2021 Heisman Trophy winner, junior quarterback Bryce Young. To be clear, Young is likely the best quarterback to grace the DKR turf since ... well, a very long time, if we’re doing our best to be frank here.
