Mississippi State DC Bob Shoop says Bulldogs were split between 3 NFL comparisons for Tua Tagovailoa
Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa is taking the college football world by storm. So far this year, he’s thrown for 27 touchdowns and only one interception.
His next test will come on Saturday at home against a tough Mississippi State defense, so the Bulldogs have been watching plenty of film on the star sophomore.
According to Mississippi State DC Bob Shoop, the Bulldogs have compared Tagovailoa to Russell Wilson, Drew Brees and Michael Vick:
Bob Shoop says they were making comps for Tua Tagovailoa in studying film. Some said Russell Wilson, some said Drew Brees, Michael Vick was mentioned.

Tagovailoa has a ways to go before he deserves to be mentioned among those great players, but he looks every bit like a Heisman frontrunner at the moment.
It won’t be easy for the Bulldogs to stop him, but they will be one of the most talented defenses he’s faced yet.
