Great job Tua for not staring down the receiver.

When he's at the ATM, is he looking over his shoulder for Ted Koppel?

Don’t forget that Smitty did his job, too.

We are so lucky that 7SU allows us to take the lower tier LA receivers that they don’t want.

Thanks, guys.

The force is strong with this one. Saban better start him or somebody might turn him to the dark side.

Yep this slow motion high def replay gives you a good idea what battles in the trenches really look like. These fights are where games are won and lost.

Yes glad someone said it. He wasn't even looking at the open receiver until the instant he threw the ball. It's not like he was watching the guy run open for 5 seconds while he got ready to throw.

Most SEC QB's wouldn't have had the skill to stare down the other side of the field for several seconds and then sling it the other way with barely a look and hit the receiver in stride right in his hands.

SEC QB's, hell, all QB's starting in high school, practice head fake pass plays. This isn't a new thing that Tua invented.

He executed it perfectly.

But this isn't a new thing.

How many 2002 David Greene videos do you want me to post to prove it?

I beg to differ. God bless him but Jalen missed a wide open Riddley in the first half that could have changed the complexion of that game completely. If Jalen completed that and Bama is up 7-0 instead of missing a fg, we don't know how Georgia would have responded and we might not ever see Tua in that game regardless of outcome.

Trent Dilfer was talking about this play on ESPN radio. He said this was the absolute immaculate execution of the QB play on a cover 2 secondary he taught Tua at the Elite 11 QB camp he's director of.

Tua's arm angle at release is unusual in that his elbow is far away from his left ear. That low arm angle would be considered poor form by Tom Brady but it worked pretty well on the winning pass.

Gotcha....


So you are admitting that Tua didn't change college football...

Dilfer was the mastermind, and passed this new concept on to Tua.

Saban owes Dilfer alot of money, and when Tua goes pro, he should kick some back to Dilfer as well.


After all, he's earned it.

You must have missed the first par of the game.

Who is claiming it's a new thing or that Tua invented it?

All we're saying is that there aren't many SEC QB's that could have, or would have, been able to execute it that perfectly.

Doesn't matter if they practice the head fake in high school if they can't do it at the college level. Let alone at the college level in the frikken natty game in OT after getting sacked.

I want to send cookies to Tua for doing such a good job completing a pass to a wide open receiver with no pressure. I would send him Samoas but I ate them all. I will send Thin Mints or Do-si-Dos. What is his address?


Or just write this?

Spencer Pennington was an SEC quarterback. If he throws that pass, the ball doesn't make it past the 20 yard line.

LOL you are so bitter. Why don't you go to shithole countries so you can see people wearing the pre game printed Georgia National Champs shirts. That should make you feel better about it.
