What if we get in, and Tua does the unthinkable?

If we make the playoffs, Saban WILL NOT play Tua. This is Jalen's team right now. Imagine how divided this team would be going into the game if we had a permanent QB change

Don’t you think the team is already divided?

No?



To answer the OPs question, I'd imagine the chances of Tua coming in and doing the "unthinkable" are signifucantly slimmer than Hurts winning an NC for us if we get in.

Won't happen unless we don't get in the playoffs and Saban decides to start Tua in a bowl game (still probably not happening).

Our best hope is that they seriously change the offensive play calling and game planning to better suit Hurts.

I think the only players who may be "divided" from the team are the WRs. But you pull the starting QB and put in the backup when Jalen is the one who got us to the playoffs (assuming we get there), you'll have a problem in the locker room

No but you have to give Damien Harris more than 6 carries or we're gonna lose

Feed the backs at least. If we still lose, at least we tried to win the game with our strength.

Are not big brawls breaking out in the locker room?

This is my biggest thing, honestly. The last two seasons Harris has ran like he's one of the absolute best backs in the country, and he's rarely given the ball. It's ridiculous and Saban is usually better than that.

being the logical, pragmatic guy that Saban is, he has to see the production and realize how underutilized he is. I just can't imagine how its justifiable in his eyes that Harris gets such little use. This is coming from someone who rarely questions anything Saban does.

i don't know, maybe there is something that we don't know. can't imagine what it is though.

Tua will not play unless Hurts gets hurt or we are in big late.

He can’t make them look too good if he wants them both back for their senior years :-)

Just speaking the truth. If you think there's any chance Tua plays in the playoff under different circumstances, then you're a moron.

I get giving Najee touches (though as the season went on and Jacobs got healthy Najee pretty much saw no first team time) since he was the big recruit coming in and you've got to get him some valuable experience and show him you're playing him. I get Jacobs because he's so dynamic and explosive. I understand that Bo went off late last season, but when Bo was struggling and Harris was thriving there was no reason for Bo to still be getting so many touches.

I think we've all seen Bo coming in and making checks with the OL all season while Jalen stands there. Maybe that's the reason?

Would love to see a package for Tua... Jalen as Slot... (remember the Ardarius plays last year?) Jalen as RB, everyone thinking it would be a halfback opinion pass.. which it could be.. with a toss back to Tua who could go deep to the other side of the field... Jalen as RB, with a flea-flicker where Tua hits a deep bomb... and on and on. Double reverses with Jalen or Tua getting the last touch for a bomb... see where Im going with this.. .Bama never had a true talented #2 who could take part in this. Ardarius was amazing the two times Bama used him last year... need this in the play offs... or if they dont make it... next year for sure... imagine the D's trying to be ready for this and Bama works even more into the p;ays... Josh and Jalen in at RB... what the hell is going to happen... time to get away from the old "they are just going to try and rush it down our throats" and they have to guess and try to figure out what is coming

Kirby Smart got a little bit lucky when his starting QB was injured right out of he gate. JMO but perhaps UGA wouldn't be in the position they are today with the other guy starting.

It is obvious that Saban thinks we can win without a passing game.
