Texas' Young a Favorite to Challenge Leinart for Heisman
8th Sep 2005, 07:08 GMT
Vince Young calls it the Texas Two-Step. A quick fake followed by a burst of speed and the Texas quarterback is past a defender and dancing all the way to the end zone. At 6-foot-5, 233 pounds with 4.4 speed, he's the most dangerous running quarterback in the country. In Texas' 38-37 Rose Bowl win last season, he ripped off dazzling TD runs of 20, 60, 10 and 23 yards, leaving Michigan defenders punching the air in frustration or bent over gasping for breath. Now a top contender for the Heisman Trophy, Young leads No. 2 Texas back into Big 10 country for Saturday night's matchup with No. 4 Ohio State. The glamour non-conference game of the season is the first meeting of the elite programs and has national title implications just two weeks into the schedule.
