Back to the Alabama Crimson Tide Newsfeed

Nick Saban updates Tua Tagovailoa and Will Reichard, talks UA’s defense and Ty Perine

This was a tough cigar to get for Alabama.

Despite earning a 35-13 win, the University of Tennessee gave the Crimson Tide all it could handle and more at Bryant-Denny Stadium. After the game, Nick Saban spoke to reporters on how he was pleased with the toughness of the Tide and it was able to grind out a victory.

Fans witnessed a huge scare in the second quarter, when Tua Tagovailoa left the game with an ankle injury.

He did not return to action, which forced Mac Jones into the action. According to Saban, the junior quarterback is expected to at least miss next week versus Arkansas.
