Don’t even play him vs The Citadel. This is getting scary.

It would be smart if Locksley stopped dropping him back every 2nd and 3rd down. Hand the ball off or run a screen once in a while. Stop running it on first down, and completely abandoning the run.

Agreed. I’m starting to wonder if we can win out til playoffs. It’s the ultimate tease to have Tua and have to watch him limp around at 60%.
You can bet your arse Auburn is coming for blood.

I seriously doubt Tua can make it through a full game until his knee is surgically repaired. College QBs get hit every game, and he just can’t take a hit. We’re basically down to a pocket passer version of Tua each game until he gets hit, at which point we become an FCS offense until Jalen heals (which may not be til bowl/playoffs). It fricking sucks to see a team go from GOAT potential to doubtful to win the conference, but I guess that’s the downside of having an offense built around a single Heisman-caliber QB.

Need to rest him next week and let Mack run the full offense. Period.

Yeah he has been playing injured for a month now. Every game he is slow to get up, limping, his throws have been off, etc

It still just looks like a sprain. Still just needs rest.

Injury updates on Tua Tagovailoa, Deonte Brown after MSU game (BamaOnLine)
quote:
A pair of Alabama offensive starters exited the game against Mississippi State on Saturday afternoon and did not return to the field at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Tua Tagovailoa took a hit on his quad muscle and could not get the muscle loose because of the cold weather, according to the CBS Sports television broadcast.
"Tua could have gone back in the game if needed to," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said after the game. "He got hit low a few times out there today, and I think he got hit in the front of the knee, not the back, which is what his initial problem was. I think he's OK."
Tagovailoa was sacked four times in the game and exited it on the final takedown behind the line of scrimmage in the third quarter. He was replaced by redshirt freshman Mac Jones to start the fourth quarter. Tagovailoa threw for 164 yards, one touchdown and one interception -- his second of the season -- on 14-of-21 passing. His rushing totals were -24 yards on eight carries.
The sophomore briefly visited the medical tent before riding a stationary bike on the sideline.
Deonte Brown started his third consecutive game at left guard but visited the medical tent in the first quarter and did not return to the game. He was replaced by seven-game starter Lester Cotton.
"Deonte Brown went out of the game, he got turf toe and that may be a little bit more of an issue for him, especially for next week," Saban said.
Alabama will next host The Citadel on Saturday, Nov. 17, for an 11 a.m. CT kickoff.

PCL Strain. He needs rest. It connect the femur to the tibia and it can be painful at times. I’d say sit him.

This is jmho.
It's probable that he has a small meniscus tear.I think Tua has decided to finish the Season before having it Scoped.
I would if I were in his shoes.
