How close was Qua Russaw to playing against Oklahoma?

Alabama football’s linebacker, Qua Russaw was a game-time decision for the Crimson Tide’s matchup against Oklahoma, and he did not play.

The Montgomery, Alabama native did suit up for the matchup and went through warm-ups with the Tide. Alabama’s defensive coordinator Kane Wommack confirmed the decision to not play Russaw was a true ‘game-time’ decision on Monday, and the former five-star was very close to playing.

“I think that we’re in position for him to play very soon,” Wommack said. “Obviously, he needs to have a good week of preparation and feel good.
