Will Tua save a game for us?

yeah, yeah, the backup QB is the best player on the team.

If we get into another game like the Clemson game last year, when they are stacking the box and sitting on the short routes, not allowing Jalen to scramble and he's unable to make the throws to loosen them up, I want to see Tua come in off the bench and try and save the game. I'm sorry, but the kid can make throws Jalen just can't make. I'm not knocking Jalen. He's a good QB and a great leader and a fine young man, but as a passer, his skills are limited. Tua hasn't found his limit yet throwing the ball. He's deadly. And he can throw on the move. In the game Saturday against Tennessee, that was a big league throw he made rolling away from pressure, keeping his eyes downfield and hitting Ruggs in stride for a TD. Jalen can't do that. I'm not saying Jalen should be benched. I'm saying there's going to come a time when we need plays Jalen can't make with his legs. I hope Saban has the balls to go to the bullpen and trot Tua out there. Yes, he's young and he's inexperienced and he makes mistakes, like the INT against UT. But he also makes beautiful throws that are laser accurate too. We know how it ends if the offense can't even muster first downs. I'll take my chances with the rookie gunslinger rather than go down without a fight.
