Tua Tagovailoa Throws 5 TDs, No. 2 Alabama Crushes Southern Miss. 49-7

Heisman Trophy contender Tua Tagovailoa accounted for five touchdowns Saturday to help lead the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide to a 49-7 victory over the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles at Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.

Alabama has now outscored its opponents 200-43 during a 4-0 start to the 2019 season. It's the 11th time in the past 12 years head coach Nick Saban and the Tide have won their first four games of a campaign.

Tagovailoa has put himself firmly in the Heisman conversation for the second consecutive year after falling short to Kyler Murray in 2018.
