Who Made It Into The College Football Hall Of Fame? Vince Young, Joe Thomas Headline Inductees
As the college football world gets ready to say goodbye to the 2018 season with the national championship game on Monday night, the National Football Foundation announced 2019’s inductees into the College Football Hall of Fame. In total, 13 players and two head coaches will be enshrined by the foundation.
The list is headlined by former Texas Longhorns quarterback Vince Young. After he became the Longhorns’ full-time starter in 2004, Young compiled a 24-1 record, highlighted by his iconic performance in the 2006 Rose Bowl. Texas beat the USC Trojans 41-38 in a game filled with future NFL players.
Young finished with 467 total yards of offense and three rushing touchdowns, including the game-winner on 4th & 5 with less than a minute in the game.
