re: Taulia Tagovailoa in Portal from Maryland

One thing that stands out on the stat sheet are his INTs. This year, his final at Maryland as a senior, he threw 25 TDs but 11 interceptions. In his three years as a starter he has averaged 10 interceptions per season. That would not fly with Saban. His rating those three years was 151, 142, and 145. Not horrible but far from elite. For the guy saying that Taulia was as good as Bryce take a gander at this. In three seasons as a starter, Taulia’s best season was 3860 yards. He average 3415 yards, 23 td, 10 int as a three year starter. As a starter, for his career he had 69 TD and 30 INT. All of his seasons were fairly consistent; his best was actually his first year as starter. His highest ever rating was that year at 151.1.

Bryce in two seasons threw for 8200 yards, had 79 TD and 12 INT.. His rating his two years as starter was 167 and 163. His last season it was snap the ball and let Bryce improvise. He was largely wasted that year and still had a better season than Taulia ever sniffed.
