Tua Tagovailoa – Noteworthy
QB Tua Tagovailoa left Saturday night’s SEC game against Missouri after apparently aggravating a knee sprain in the third quarter. Tagovailoa slid to the turf after a short run on a scramble and remained down while trainers tended to the knee. He left the field without help but went directly to the medical tent on the Alabama sideline. The sophomore from Hawaii remained in the tent for about 10 minutes. His parents came down from the stands to check on him. Tagovailoa had injured the knee during the previous week’s game against Arkansas, but Alabama coach Nick Saban said Tagovailoa did not miss any practice time during the week. When Tagovailoa left the game, he had thrown for 265 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions.
