re: As much as I would like to gush over Tua, I think there were other forces at play

Does anyone stop to think that maybe the playcalls were different because they are different players? Maybe Daboll's dumbed down play calling was due to how limited Jalen's skill set is. As soon as Tua went in the game the offense opened up because his talent allows you to be able to do that. He can do more than 1 route reads and QB runs.

They were insanely different. I commented more than once that the playcalling changed immensely once Tua was in.

It was clear that Daboll did not trust Hurts and wasn't as good as Kiffin in terms of finding ways to make him look good. Also, Bama's O AND D responded to the change even after Tua messed up.
