It was Alabama coach Nick Saban's decision to put true freshman Tua Tagovailoa on the field in the College Football Playoff National Championship last week, but it was offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's play call that led to Tagovailoa's game-winning touchdown in overtime.
Weighed down by an offense that scored only three touchdowns in seven games against playoff teams this season, the Buffalo Bills are hoping to steal some of the Crimson Tide's magic. Coach Sean McDermott plucked Daboll away from Alabama on Sunday to become Buffalo's fifth offensive coordinator in five seasons.
Now the Bills must do what Saban did by signing Tagovailoa, who was ESPN's top-rated recruit at his position: find a quarterback.
