The injury to Tua Tagovailoa not only affected Alabama’s football program, but it also generated concern for others that are also invested. He will make his return to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday to support the Crimson Tide on senior day versus Western Carolina.
Mac Jones, a redshirt sophomore, is now the starter at quarterback for the remainder of the regular season and postseason action. He earned his first start versus Arkansas and guided Alabama to a 48-7 win over the Razorbacks. According to multiple players, the team has full confidence in the native Floridian. While external factors feel as though the Tide won’t be Auburn without Tagovailoa, this group believes that Jones is ready for the moment.
