The Relationship between Jalen Hurts and Tua Tagovailoa paying dividends off and on the field

Anyone who has followed Alabama since the national championship game knows about the importance of the quarterback competition. Jalen Hurts has a remarkable record as a starting quarterback going 26-2 and leading Alabama to two national championship appearances. Tua Tagovailoa came off the bench to lead Alabama to their 17th national championship. Both quarterbacks are extremely talented but when Nick Saban made the decision to start Tagovailoa over the veteran Hurts this season there has been a notable difference in the offense. In the past, Alabama has been known for a dominant defense and an offense that featured a strong running game and a top wide receiver.
