Based on message boards and Twitter, the majority of Alabama football fans want Tua Tagovailoa to start against Louisville. A couple of top CFB experts said this week they don’t expect that to happen.
Step back, take a deep breath and calmly consider that contradiction. It is easy to respect Jalen Hurts’ 26-2 record and his leadership skills, on and off the field. It is perhaps even easier to appreciate the apparent potential of Tua. The fact is Alabama football can win with either one of them. For now anyway – until the point another team fields a strong offense and a suffocating defense.
