The first half of the 2009 season has been more than a little shocking for the Tennessee Titans. After holding out to become the last undefeated team of 2008, they returned in 2009 and can't seem to grab a win. Their 0-6 start has had coaches examining every part of the game. This gloomy start, however, yielded a glimmer of hope for one Titan: quarterback Vince Young. Even before Young was a well-known name in the NFL he was a famous star at the University of Texas, and before he was a Longhorn he was one of the most celebrated high school athletes in Texas. While playing for UT, he helped lead the team to the BCS National Championship.
