KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa exited Saturday's 58-21 win over Tennessee early in the third quarter after taking a hit, but coach Nick Saban said Tagovailoa was fine and could have gone back into the game if the No. 1 Crimson Tide had needed him.
"He's fine and was running around after the game," Saban told ESPN. "We were about ready to take him out anyway. He's had the (strained right knee) for two weeks now, but moved around a lot better in practice this week and it was obvious he had a lot more confidence in it.
