I know Boz mentioned Tua may play against Clemson (thanks for posting that btw). What do y'all expect his role to be? I'm wondering if this is just a 1 drive in he game situation or are we gonna put him in when we start struggling to pass? I know there are no confirmed answers, but I just want to know what you all expect

I’m thinking if Jalen is struggling to complete passes then we put Tua in to see what happens. There’s no sense keeping Jalen in if we are going to be one-dimensional against Clemson.

Boz is full of shite.

I think Jalen plays for a few series. If we're moving the ball well, he stays in. If not, Tua comes in. What he does determines how much he plays.
Maybe that's just my hope. But that's what I'd do.

I find it really hard to believe. I really think our best bet is to finally commit to the run and try to hit Clemson with Pa pass at times. We all love tua but unless Jalen is injured I can't think of a scenario of putting him in right now

I could see a scenario where he comes in every 3rd series in the 1st half and then they evaluate from there. The play calling would already be mapped out so he'd likely have a reduced passing playbook to operate from with quick throws.

Something smells “fishy” about this.

It feels a bit like Alabama is playing with house money here. There's absolutely no reason to go out there and be 1 dimensional all damn game.
Why would Tua not play some if Hurts isn't moving the very well?

Tua's been on campus since December, so chances are he knows the playbook well at this point come January.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a few Wildcat style plays where both are in. ULM ran a two QB system a few years back in a similar manner so two or three trick plays wouldn't surprise me if we want to run them.

Jalen is injured.

"Hey Tua, I know you've barely played this season. You apparently weren't good enough in practice to be trusted in games against LSU or Texas A&M or Auburn. Get on out there and beat Clemson, would you?"

I think Jalen will start for sure, and like someone else stated, if he starts to struggle they'll put Tua in.
In the past NS has never showed favoritism towards seniority, meaning typically the better players play. It's just hard to say that Tua is better than Jalen based off a couple of 3rd and 4th quarter games against below average opponents.
Personally, I'd like to see Tua.

I say start Jalen. With that being said, Auburn 2016 may have been the only good defense that Hurts was even serviceable throwing the ball. Throw in LSU this year because drops were an issue. Most of the time we have to rely on a big play downfield to even get over 100 yards. That isn’t a poor throwing game that is certifiably anemic. Especially considering that he is throwing to at least 3 guys that will play in the NFL both years
