Re: Tua ankle which one or both?
Our NC this year may depend on it AND his pro career will be defined by it.
A healthy Tua probably doesn't throw either.
It's very important that Tua finds a healthy balance between keeping a play alive and knowing when it's time to get rid of it before taking a hit.

I'll take the glass half full view here too and say it explains why he missed several of this throws...especially the 2 ints near the goal line.

Re: Tua ankle which one or both?
I was wondering how bad that left ankle was during the game. It was obvious that Tua wasn't as mobile or as accurate after it was injured. If it was a high ankle sprain, the pain could account for difficulty making good decisions throwing the ball away as well. Hopefully he'll be able to recover, but if not I can't think of a backup quarterback I'd rather have in the finals than #2.
i think having tua around has made people forget that jalen is a stone-cold baller. and now his passing has improved
No doubt. I love Tua and hope he plays in this game, but if he can't, this is actually the game that Jalen's "style" (especially with his improved passing) can be very effective.i think having tua around has made people forget that jalen is a stone-cold baller. and now his passing has improved
With Tua, we often score quickly but sometimes we bog down a little when the field gets shorter near the goal line.
With Jalen and his running ability couplee with OK's weaker defense we should be able to move the ball with running the ball with Jalen and our RBs and Jalen's improved passing skills.
If we have to play without Tua in a game, I like how this game matches up Jalen's skill set with a style that will eat a lot of clock.

We may have forgotten that it's this kind of defense that made Jalen a folk hero, before what he did on Saturday.the alabama fanbase's reaction at the thought of jalen going against a suspect defense.
Jalen(assuming Tua can't go) and Jaylen(Waddle) could/should have big games against this D.
I was joking with a friend yesterday that every touch Waddle gets might be a TD vs this OU team.

Re: Tua ankle which one or both?
A healthy Tua hits both passes. On both, the WR was open. Tua was just late and short with the passes.
Re: Tua ankle which one or both?
Another one that makes more sense now is the pass Irv dropped. Tua doesn't underthrow guys like that. While Irv should have caught the ball, Tua has hit guys in stride all season on that.
Not sure about the first, but the second makes plenty of sense now. He was late and behind Waddle. He's previously hit him over the shoulder on that pass.

It's also true, as Gary Danielson rightly noted, that Tua's last lesson to learn is that he can't make a big play on every throw. I think he tried to force several throws against Georgia that just weren't there. He's done it several times as the season wore on, but these were also the times were were playing our best competition.
Assuming he's healed and can play, we might expect to see more guys running in the open against OK's defense and I imagine well see his accuarcy improved a bit when throwing into bigger open windows.
Yes, he may have forced that first one a little, but it did occur right after the injury to his left ankle.

Do you realize the "high ankle sprain" diagnosis was only reported after Saban said it?
And yes, most of us know there's no real thing as a high ankle sprain.
Re: Tua ankle which one or both?
I've been screaming this to deaf ears since the clock hit 0:00
Yes I do realize that Saban said "high ankle sprain" and I do not think he was trying to mislead anyone. A syndesmosis tear is a "real thing" and the syndesmosis is above the lateral malleolus but a TFL tear would also show up on MRI and could be evaluated arthroscopically. Believe what you want to believe dude.
