The Alabama Crimson Tide have largely cruised through the 2018 college football season, but their championship aspirations may have hit a snag after quarterback Tua Tagovailoa suffered an apparent ankle injury in the fourth quarter of Saturday's SEC Championship Game against Georgia.
Tagovailoa departed after his ankle was stepped on by offensive lineman Jonah Williams. The sophomore laid on the turf for over a minute as trainers examined his leg.
Tua dealt with a knee injury earlier this season but has remained on the field as the driving force for the defending champions. He entered Saturday as the Heisman Trophy front-runner with 3,189 passing yards, 36 passing touchdowns along with 211 rushing yards and five scores on the ground.
