He knows what the opposition is trying to do, but Alabama football head coach Nick Saban is not resting sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this week.
During his presser on Monday, he firmly stands on the signal-caller being “okay” and said he will practice on Tuesday. While he’s setting records and has revolutionized the Crimson Tide’s offense, Tagovailoa has taken a ton of hits to his knee in the last few weeks. Alabama fans are constantly having mini heart attacks each time the native Hawaiian is slow to get up, as they know he is a vital part of this program’s chances to capture its second straight national title.
