I bet Tua got scoped after the Arkansas game, not the Missouri game. And then played through it last week vs. Missouri. That's the explanation that makes the most sense to me. That would explain why Saban said he was doing better this week than last week. And why so much time was spent checking him out in the tent. Also why he was having so much trouble bending his leg on his follow-through. That would have been only 6 days after having a scope. Would also explain why so many people online with "inside" contacts said he was already scoped.

During warmups last week he was constantly flexing that leg - lifting it up and pulling it up towards his chest. He never looked fully comfortable.

What is Saban's motivation for covering it up?

I wouldn’t call it that. He’s doing what nearly all coaches would do. Limiting the medical information out there about this players.

Exactly. Some teams like to twist knees and take other cheap shots. See Missouri.

I would say the knee twisting incident is the most egregious and obvious foul I have witnessed in football. Yet Raekwon is the one missing playing time. If there were not phone calls made to UM from the league office it is a significant oversight!

I missed anything about suspension. All I remember is Saban saying it would be handled "internally"...

Yes but - while he didn't say Raekwon would be suspended, per se - Saban did say he expected it to affect his playing time.
