Alabama Football: 3 takeaways from runaway win over Missouri

This one went exactly how you would have expected it to. Alabama football continued its domination tour, crushing the Missouri Tigers with ease.

For the seventh week in a row Alabama dominated their opponent, this time Missouri. With Georgia falling on Saturday, they are the only remaining undefeated team in the SEC and are easily the best team in the conference.

We saw Tua Tagovailoa enter the injury tent in the third quarter, his parents called down from the stands to join him. All of Tuscaloosa was holding their breath as they waited for word on what was going on while Jalen Hurts took his spot on the field. Luckily, Tua emerged from the tent without a limp and walked back to his spot on the sideline, helmet on. He didn’t go back in, simply due to the score already being so high, but he apparently could have and for the entire college football world, that is great news.

On that note though, let’s talk takeaways y’all.

3. Tua may never have to play a fourth quarter. His team is that good.

So far this season, Tua Tagovailoa has barely played in the second half. He has yet to play in the fourth quarter though and that is a staggering statistic. Even more staggering? He may never have to. Jalen Hurts is a worthy replacement, though he isn’t anywhere near as good as Tua. Alabama puts up so many points with Tua under center that by the fourth quarter, they are winning by over 30 and it just isn’t necessary to keep the starter in.

This kid may just win the Heisman having never played a fourth quarter. That, my friends, is something I thought I’d never say.
