Carson Beck and Jalen Milroe had to replace big-name quarterbacks at programs with national title-or-bust expectations.
His turning point may have come in the SEC opener against South Carolina, when Beck rallied Georgia from a 14-3 halftime deficit to win 24-14.
And Milroe has done something even Young couldn't do last season: lead the Tide to the SEC title game.
Then Milroe was back, leading the Tide to a perfect SEC season and making their biggest play in the Iron Bowl.
Besides the similarities of replacing star passers, Beck and Milroe share another common ground.
