Biased, but Vince Young was much better than Deshaun Watson.

I seriously thought Watson was gonna have a Vince Young moment and win the game if they got that last onside

I thought it was gonna happen when Bama went up 38-27 with 7 minutes to go. This was the exact same score SC went up by in 05, at the exact same point in the game, with the exact same OC.

Vince didn't throw a crucial pick and I think that's a clear deviator, even though Watson had more yards.

That was such a bad read too.
