quote:Full interview...
Dan Patrick: You wanted to go to USC. You told us about this, you loved Matt Leinart. Did you worry about the Alabama offense being kind of… boring?
Tua Tagovailoa: Not really… What kinda went into that deciding factor was my father. We took a visit out there. We really only took three visits, to USC, UCLA, and to Alabama. I couldn’t really gauge what was good, what wasn’t good, because I heard Oregon had a great facility too.
DP: How did you pass up on USC if Matt Leinart is your idol?
TT: That’s a great question. I think that’s one for my dad, not one for me. My dad is kind of the reason why I went to Alabama.
DP: I don’t want to put dad on the spot here, but I was wondering about that. You loved Leinart, USC, had an opportunity to go there and you wind up at Alabama.
TT: Yeah, I don’t know how that worked out but I’m fine with it now.
