Just when you thought Alabama’s reign of terror couldn’t get any worse, Nick Saban unleashed freshman quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Suddenly, the Crimson Tide and its band of behemoths had a 21st-century quarterback who can run and throw. It was like watching “Game of Thrones,” when the flying dragons come out. You can’t deal with that. Show over. Game over. The sum of all fears. Marshal Dillon with an automatic weapon. Marilyn Monroe with a voice like Judy Garland’s. Kevin Durant to the Warriors.
Alabama won 26-23 in overtime Monday night after trailing 13-0 at halftime.
