While Tennessee did hang around as long as they could, the Alabama Football team was able to take care of business in an uncomfortable position on the heels of Najee Harris and a few timely Volunteer mistakes.
Yet, the game felt weird without Tua. I returned to holding my breath every time the team faced a third down situation- especially third down and long. Without Tua able to pull off the RPO or quick slant, third down situations seemed terrifying.
There hasn’t been an opportunity to be disappointed in an inaccurate throw or missing a receiver in stride in quite a while.
