Alabama football has arguably the deepest wide receiver corps in college football and while sophomore Tua Tagovailoa connects well with everyone, there is something special between he and the Crimson Tide’s silent killer from Louisiana.
Tide fans hope to soon get its race between Henry Ruggs III and DeVonta Smith, but the latter has a knack for picking his moments where he owns the stage. The historic journey for Smith and Tagovailoa started at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to begin the 2018 year as the native Hawaiian found the crafty route runner on a game-winning, 41-yard touchdown pass in overtime, delivering Alabama to a 26-23 victory over Georgia in the CFP national title game.
