In his [Saban] press conference he said 100% and then dropped it to 90%. Again, his words, not mine.

And Tua doesn't play defense

That is my point, according to the Saban groupies, what Saban says is close to Gospel. So Saban, his words, not mine, in his presser after the LSU game stated Tua was 100%, his words were that he had mobility in the pocket, etc, then he downward estimated his health to 90%. Again, those are Saban's words, not mine. So anybody starts with that Tua was 60%, 70%, etc. even 80%, show the Saban quotes. His After game presser is linked on youtube.

I don’t think the ankle was bothering him too much. If you wanna say that being out of practice so long had him out of sync and effected timing routes fine. But his throw velocity and movement were there

Such a bitch move by Tua and the media. All we heard all week was Bama insiders and folks talking about how Tua was gonna be ready. He played the whole game.. Practiced since Wednesday of the bye week... Threw for over 400 yards... And then we have to hear he had one leg. I guess with two legs he'd have 800 yards of offense.

Not sure about that but I can say I believe his stats would have been better...to me it was clear his incompletion rate was a good bit higher than usual plus, I don't thing he fumbles on the first drive either. He looked rather tentative on the run and was concerned about taking a nasty hit on the leg as he was running to the goal. I think it certainly was enough of a distraction to cause that fumble due to the mental focus shift.
