HONOLULU -- Hawaii may be thought of more as the land of surf and sand, but football is also a big part of the culture and the state has churned out some pretty incredible players.
After the College Football Playoff national championship game, fans are adding another name to the list: Tua Tagovailoa.
The Hawaii native and freshman Alabama quarterback came off the bench in the second half of Monday night's game to lead the Crimson Tide to a 26-23 overtime win over Georgia.
In turn, Hawaii fans roared to life, taking to social media as local news outlets sent mobile alerts about one of the biggest touchdown passes in the history of Alabama -- and Hawaii -- football.
