The fact that he's 4/1 odds to win the Heisman is problematic.

Tua had 11 passing TDs in 2017. That’s more than all Florida QBs combined in 2017. And more than any individual Florida QB since 2012.

Except this one. Najee was held on the play after Tua released the ball. He would have been wide open. If Ridley didn't come in front and make a great grab it would have been a PI and first and 10.


Nope. No flag was thrown. If Ridley doesn't make the play, ball goes over to UGA.

Holy shite! I had to look that up to confirm and it's fricking true!

In 2012 Driskell only had 12 tds. If not for that, you have to go back to Tebow years to find someone that had more passing tds than the Bama backup qb.

Don't you make this about us. We know our QBs are the worst of the worst, his question still stands as valid.

Wanna ask a legit question, use legit information. Until then the OP is left open to actual facts like this.

It could very easily have gone the other way. He threw three balls that should, not could, have been an int.. Only time will tell with him.

I hear you, but you're also forgetting a couple of plays he kept alive.

Also, the fact he survived under that kind of pressure as a true freshman says loads.

Do we know he didn’t know where Ridley was?
Tua has as good of field presence as any. Payton , Brady come to mind.

Now we are mentioning Tua with the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning.

This is amazing stuff. Really.
