Even in pain, Tua Tagovailoa’s leadership proceeds the Tide in Citrus Bowl prep

He is now in the category of Julio Jones, Mark Ingram and Damien Harris, in terms of being the greatest representative of Alabama football.

When he emerged from the ground with a bloody nose and a dislocated right hip inside Davis Wade Stadium at Starkville, Miss., he could’ve thought of the worst-case scenario.

In this situation, anger would have hit a lot of athletes.
