Tua Tagovailoa, Najee Harris Lead No. 2 Alabama to 47-23 Win over South Carolina

The second-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide continue to roll in 2019 with a 47-23 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks in the SEC opener for both teams.

Despite playing in the same conference, this was the first meeting between Alabama and South Carolina since 2010. The Gamecocks stunned Nick Saban's team on that day to end the Tide's 19-game winning streak.

Tua Tagovailoa ensured no such fate awaited Alabama this time. The Heisman contender accounted for 444 passing yards and five touchdowns in the win. He's the first quarterback in school history to throw for at least 400 yards with five touchdowns in a game.
