There is no easy way to say this so we’ll just say it: We might not see Tua Tagovailoa in an Alabama uniform ever again—and maybe we shouldn’t.
A heartbreaking scene unfolded late during the second quarter of Mississippi State’s game against Alabama. The Crimson Tide quarterback, crushed underneath two Bulldog bodies, was unable to stand upright. He injured his right hip and he suffered what appeared to be a laceration to his nose or mouth. Alabama staff members, one on each arm, held him upright while another covered his face with a towel, soaking up blood, tears and painful screams that were loud enough to be heard by ESPN sideline reporter Molly McGrath.
