Of course, Corbett was also a little sheepish, since he inadvertently made Young’s life a little harder. The right guard stepped on Young early in the game, leading to a sack and a little limp, but Young was quick to brush that off.
“We’re all playing through something in this time of the year,” Young said. “It’s football, you know, everyone’s going through something. So, any chance I can to be out there with the guys, I’m always going to take it.”
Still, Corbett felt guilty.
“Felt bad, not great,” Corbett said. “A lot of gosh dang it, shoots, but I checked on him. He’s a tough son of a gun, and I’ll buy him dinner here for an apology. It’s awesome to see what he was able to do on the scramble to JT, on the zone read, to be able to scramble there for that first down.
“He looked just fine and I know everybody when he was coming out, it was just like, how is he going to be able to handle these hits? Unfortunately you don’t plan for a size 17 from your own guy stepping on you, but he’s tough and I’m sorry, Bryce.”
