Tua Tagovailoa Shows Why He Should Be Alabama's QB1 as the Tide Thump Louisville

From the moment Tua Tagovailoa threw a game-winning overtime touchdown to win the national championship against Georgia, Nick Saban has been bombarded and most definitely annoyed by the repeated questions about his quarterback conundrum.
