Young’s miracle-working was even more amazing as it came on the game’s final play, the ball being snapped with six seconds left, and Young scrambling toward the line of scrimmage before letting the pass go with Britt making a leaping catch to give Tennessee its fifth consecutive win. Young lead an 18-play, 99-yard drive in the final 2:37 to rally the Tennessee Titans. Young was sensational, completing 27 of 43 passes for a career-high 387 yards, collecting 94 of those on the final drive, as he hit on 10 of 16 passes and converted on fourth down three times in the drive. His Rose Bowl heroics were from nearly four years ago were on more than a few people’s minds. “It was funny, because it was second or third down, down on the goal line and [Steve] Breaston came up to me and he was like, ‘God, this is déjà vu all over again. He did that to Michigan, and he did that to myself in the title game,” said Leinart, who played well in completing 21 of 31 for 220 yards. What was most impressive is Chris Johnson, amazingly enough, did not have one touch on the final drive. His presence had already been made though, arguably the best running back in the NFL, sprinted 85 yards for a touchdown late in the third quarter of Sunday's game. Johnson ran for 154 yards on 18 carries.
