After a rather “off” first half against The Citadel, Alabama is back to doing Alabama things. That includes Tua Tagovailoa tossing touchdown passes.

In the third quarter, Tagovailoa found TE Irv Smith Jr. for a 68-yard scoring play. It was Tagovailoa’s 31st touchdown pass on the season, a new Alabama single-season record.

Tagovailoa breaks the previous record of 30 set by AJ McCarron in 2012 (14 games). With the Iron Bowl, SEC Championship Game and one or two bowl games ahead for Tagovailoa, he may put the record virtually out of reach for future Tide signal-callers.

In the fourth quarter, Alabama leads The Citadel 37-10.
