Alabama Football: Tide offense will not have to be so explosive in ’19

The 2018 Alabama football offense was record-setting. Tua Tagovailoa’s performance was the biggest reason. The sophomore blew past three single-season Crimson Tide quarterback records.

Tua passed Blake Sims 3,487 passing yards, totaling 3,966 yards. He eclipsed A .J. McCarron’s touchdown pass record of 30, with an amazing 43 TD passes. Tua also broke the Jalen Hurts records for touchdowns in a season of 36, by ringing up 48 scores.

The biggest problem for the Crimson Tide last season was the offense needed to always deliver. Why? Because the 2018 version of the Alabama football defense was not championship caliber.
