Tua Tagovailoa is not 100 percent and everyone knows it.
Since news first surfaced on issues with his knee against Arkansas, every opponent and fan base of that opponent has taken responsibility to target his knee. While he has managed to shake off the attempts thus far, Tagovailoa took a shot to his quadriceps muscle over the weekend versus Mississippi State and did not finish the game. Despite Nick Saban and the native Hawaiian stating that “he’s fine,” fans of Alabama football and the competition know that he is not.
He has looked very uncomfortable planting his feet on throws since the Tennessee game, and the reason why the matchup versus the Volunteers is swept under the rug is due to Tagovailoa recording a 300-yard passing performance.
