I remember it vividly. It was this pass against UT last season:

His first A-Day.

I will go with the Vandy game when he did the spin move and threw the ball on the money for a TD.

When, in the NCG, after throwing the INT, he's on the sideline walking with his arm around Coach's shoulder and telling him it's going to be okay. No one does that, unless you have that special something.

This. His first throw of that spring game had everyone gasping. Just an electrifying player.

The Vandy spin cycle TD.

Agree -- Vandy game, but even before that particular TD.

All of those are great moments, but I think the NCG was his defining moment..................to come in down that many points and calmly lead the team to victory, and not look flustered at 2nd and 26, then throw the strike.............

I knew that he was better than Jalen early on, but I really didn't have an appreciation for just how special he might be until the CFPNCG.

First practice video I saw of him and he never missed hitting the receivers in the hands. Thought he was really good then but then the Vandy game and the whirly move straight into throwing a perfect strike and I was SOLD!

Vandy was the eye-opener, but the pass to Ruggs in the UT game was next-level spectacular. That's when I knew he had talents we hadn't seen at Bama in my life time.

When the wise men came from the east bearing gold, frankincense and myrrh announcing his arrival.

The spin pass against Vandy showed me the first glimpse that Tua was special. It wasn't until he threw the winning TD against UGA, though, that I realized just how special he is. That really was an amazing pass.

All the answers referring to regular season games are correct but for me it was when he came off the bench in the NC game and led us down the field for a score. In that situation with all the pressure and we are in dire straits against that team? And he’s like Joe Montana out there. I was blown away and have been since.

National Championship Game. All the stuff before was cute, but THE game? You saw greatness there.

Same for me. I thought he should've been the starter after this game. And that's not just based on how he played, but based on how the rest of the offense responded when he took the field. As we saw later in the season, the offense seemed juiced when he took the field.
