Alabama football fans are sure no college football team has ever been so tested by injuries than has the Crimson Tide. Two seasons in a row, multiple key players have been lost to injuries.
The latest and most emotionally devastating injury happened to Tua Tagovailoa in the second quarter of Saturday night’s game against Tennessee. On a routine tackle, Tua’s right ankle buckled under his body, tearing a ligament. It was the same injury Tua incurred last season to his other ankle. Rumors among Alabama football insiders claim this year’s ankle injury was not as severe as the one last season.
