SAN JOSE, CA – Just as Alabama is trying to figure out how to stop Trevor Lawrence, Brent Venables is trying to find a way to slow down Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Alabama’s offense runs through Tagovailoa, who has been nothing short of spectacular this year and will by far be the best quarterback Clemson has faced this season. In 14 games, Tagovailoa has completed 223-of-321 passes for 3,671 yards, 41 touchdowns, and just four interceptions.
Venables, who addressed the media Saturday morning at Clemson’s media day prior to the national championship at the SAP Center, said that because Tagovailoa is the whole package a quarterback he’s difficult to prepare for.
