Tua Tagovailoa is making all the passes for Alabama so far this season. And a breakdown of his throws shows just how successful the Crimson Tide sophomore has been.
In a passing chart shared by CFB Film Room on Twitter, Tagovailoa’s passes this season have been broken down into distances. He has excelled while throwing at all distances, as he’s been just as effective on deep passes as he has been on short ones.

Overall, Tagovailoa has passed for 646 yards and eight touchdowns during the Crimson Tide’s 3-0 start. He has also completed 72 percent of his pass attempts.
In his first season as the starter, Tagovailoa has already surpassed his passing total from a year ago, when he served as the backup to Jalen Hurts.
Tagovailoa will look to continue his strong start to the year when Alabama faces its most challenging opponent yet. The No. 1 Crimson Tide host No. 22 Texas A&M on Saturday.
The Tide and Aggies are set to kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET.
