stop it. Tua is responsible for Tua.

You can argue that Saban should have pulled him before

even this isn't a great argument. Most starters would be finishing out the first half on any team in a 35-7 road conference win.

With Tua's ankle doing well, getting him a 2-minute drill rep wasn't a bad idea. Wouldn't have been surprised to see him open the second half offense either and run a series before getting pulled. He missed ~3 weeks of practice and the more he plays the more he gets back in rhythm and builds confidence in his ankle.

He simply has the worst luck of any QB I've seen on getting his ankles and knees rolled up when scrambling. Tua is Tua, but would love to see him give up on a play sometimes a bit earlier and throw it away to avoid those contacts.

I seriously hope this young man recovers and returns to 110% . No ones fault . If he had fell an inch one way or the other it wouldn’t have happened. If he returns to college next year, I hopes he wins the Heisman!
