Young autographed the jersey and called the meeting "a blessing."



Archie in turn promised to root for the Titans when they play the Texans. "It means a lot to me," he said. "I like his skills and how he plays. I like his friendship."



Young, who led the Longhorns to a win over Southern California in January's national championship game. "To see him smile right now, that's very exciting for me," he told Houston television station KRIV.
