One of my all time favorite movie moments. Gives me chills every time I watch it.

I haven't had a legit source tell me that he did.

But doesnt playing on it put him in danger of tearing the other ligaments? Maybe they knew this along with Hurts and that’s why Hurts didn’t leave. Was only a matter of time before Tua goes down? Just guessing here but it makes sense.

If Hurts plays I do like the game alot better. Pruitt should have an idea of how to plan with him starting.

Something interesting, just tried to find the Vegas line for the game and it doesn't seem like it's out yet. Anybody seen it?

He is way more valuable playing against LSU than against us. I can't even picture a scenario that Saban plays Tua against us at all and LSU in 3 weeks.

I saw a site that said they were waiting for a clearer prognosis of Tua before setting a line.

I would think it would depend on the severity of the sprain. If it's a mild sprain, it's just one of those things that takes time to heal.

Waiting in the injury report. DUH! JK.

Do you think Saban talked Hurts into staying because of Tua’s knee? If he was limping around pre season, they had to know something.

You should like it just based upon the fact that one of the best QBs in the country isn't playing. I don't know that it will affect the outcome so much as the final margin, but it would certainly take some pressure off UT's secondary if Tua doesn't go.

That said, I think he'll play, but the coaches will try to get him out of the game as quickly as possible.

 

[fossilfiction]

You mean Tua? Yes he ran off but when the game ended he was clearly limping.

With that said Hurts looked really good when he came in. Alabama is a tough game no matter who is their QB.

Yes. It was an error when I typed the message.

I don't know if it was that. I think Hurts wanted to finish his degree (he graduates in December) and wasn't overly concerned with having an extra year.

 

[trbonevol]

Oh great...another Saban back up QB playing against the Vols...ugh

 

[BeecherVol]

I'm not sure that what he has needs fixing or if it simply needs rest. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get rest during a football season.

The schedule sets up for some extended rest now. I don't know how bad he's hurt but he could have 2 weeks off and still a week to prep for LSU.

When was the first saban backup playing against us?

Gotcha.

 

[willinhf]

Saban hasn't said anything.

Saban said he could have gone back in the game if needed.

 

[beneVOLence]

I'm sure they are referring to Matt Mauck taking over in the 2001 SEC championship game that knocked us out of playing for the National Championship.

 

[govols717]

Saban just said Tua is going to practice today. Said he is probably better this week than last week.

 

[BearCat204]

Dang, I forgot all about Saban being at LSU. That game killed me inside

 

[theroyz71]

Hell I drove a stick shift pick-up truck home 20 miles after tearing mine

I rode my motorcycle home after tearing mine in a crash. Had to put my right foot down every time I stopped.

That was my thought. Painful memory. Just painful.

Tua Tagovailoa

If you didn't have to look up how to spell that.. I give you full creds

 

[tngivm6]

He walked off the field. I am guessing he will be good to go. I guarantee Pruitt is planning on him playing.

I remember Chuck Webb hurting his knee in a meaningless game, but he also walked off the field....never to return for the Big Orange.

I wish no harm on any player, but if he could be bruised and have to sit a week I would be happy. Bama still wins but it really might get interesting. Tua is a game changer.

I’ve seen guys with torn ACLs who wound up being out fit the season walk off the field. Means very little.
