The Crimson Tide was able to bounce back from last week’s loss at home to LSU as head coach Nick Saban and the team went into Starkville and defeated Mississippi State 38-7. But it wasn’t all smiles after this one as Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa left the game due to a hip injury.
Tagovailoa suffered the injury late in the second quarter while Alabama was up 35-7. He was reportedly able to convince Saban to get one more drive in a decision the head coach now regrets.
Before leaving the game Tagovailoa completed 14 of 18 passes for 256 yards and two touchdowns.
