He was forced to retire when he was hurt, and did not return to the lineup until the second half. Young was a bearcat on the attack for the Red and Black.

He ploughed through the Pitt line for numerous material gains, and was in nearly every play. Goodwin ran his team in heady style, and was on the starting end of practically every pass that was made.
