Tua's Orange bowl stats - 24/27 for 318 yards, 4 TDs, 0 interceptions.


Against OU, which had one of the worse Ds in all the P5. Tua was able to strong arm most of his completions without having any pressure. We saw the difference a week later.

He won’t be 100% for the rest of the year. Might as well just give LSU the trophy now.

That’s a great procedure!

Amazing that they can get a high ankle sprain back on the field in 3 weeks.

Who wants him out?

I know I don’t. We would never hear the end of it if he was out of the game and we won. Bama fans would never acknowledge the loss and we’d have to hear about the “asterisk” beside the win all year long.

Screw that. We want to beat you at your healthiest and best.


Who gives a shite? I don't want anyone to be hurt, but if he's already hurt, I hope he can't go in a few weeks.

Alabama fans will make an excuse either way. Idgaf about pleasing some randoms on the internet - I want what is best for LSU.

Nobody that is paying attention thinks that tough kid with the constant, top-shelf medical care he will receive, won’t play.

Yeah but now he’s thinking more about his draft stock than he was last year.

I’m not saying he’s going to choose not to play but to act like it’s out of the question that he would choose to let an injury heal longer this year than he would have allowed last year is crazy. He’s already proven his abilities. He has nothing to gain from playing before he’s 100% now.

I hope he plays, but it wouldn’t shock me if he decided not to

This is true but honestly, we would do the same so I can’t hold that against them.

He’s going to be gimpy. Chaisson chasing him will be like a Tiger going after a deer

He wasn't 100% for at least half of last year.

So, it’s not a quick fix procedure. Typically, you’re looking at surgery when there is a tib-fib fracture, OR when there is significant interosseus membrane disruption.

However, there is increased incidence of surgical interventions with professional athletes with decent results-See: Reuben foster, Myles Garrett, Leonard Fournette. Especially after previously ending careers like Ricky Williams or indirectly ending Maurice Jones Drew with resulting lisfranc instability trying to compensate.

One goal has been to prevent widening of the mortise through chronic reinjuring—this injury is outside of the joint capsule and is thus prone to chronic reinjuring and slow healing.

The only real setback to expect is decreased push off and increased foot contact(thus further limiting acceleration) mostly secondary to pain and fear/proprioception.

You’re looking at 8-10 weeks before being functionally unaffected.l and 4-6 months for being back at full force.

Didn't he have something surgery last year so he could be recover quicker from an injury?
