Tua chokes against quality defenses.

LSU, Auburn and Georgia (from last year) for three examples. He made some bad decisions last night and also made some great throws.

He’s really just not that good honestly. He doesn’t know how to read a defense. That’s why you saw Georgia and Clemson do very well against them, they were able to disguise coverages. Tua knew where he was going when he called the play

I didn't think he threw the ball bad outside 4 or so passes (2 ended up being INTS which were all horrific reads)

Alabama moved the ball well but the offense stalled in the redzone with some garbage play calling.

Very true - shitty play calling in the red-zone and a failure to punch Clemson's dline in the mouth on the damn goal line.

Jalen woulda got that first down.

Alabama had its chance to cut the lead from 15 to 8 on that opening drive. Alabama was running over Clemson at will

Soon as they hit the red zone, Locksley abandons the run and tries to fling it. They end up not getting the TD, it set a very bad tone for the 2nd half.

"Alabama moved the ball well but the offense stalled in the redzone with some garbage play calling"

I so agree with you. If I was in a room with Locksley and Hitler and I only had two bullets, I would shoot Locksley twice. His fat arse cannot get to Maryland fast enough as far as I am concerned. That was some of the most piss poor play calling I have seen. None of it was surprise to Clemson. I felt like Venerables was sounding like Patton over there on the sideline...."I read your damn book!"
