WATCH: Tua Tagovailoa takes direct shot to injured leg
Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa has dealt with a knee injury over a few weeks. He took a nasty shot to that area late in the third quarter against Mississippi State Saturday.
The CBS broadcast updated that the hit did not impact Tagovailoa’s injured knee. The shot he took on the hit was to his quads. It is the injury to the quads that is keeping him sidelined.
With Alabama leading Mississippi State 21-0 in the fourth quarter, most fans are more concerned about Tagovailoa’s status for coming games, including the SEC Championship Game against Georgia, than the remaining quarter.
In the first possession of the fourth quarter, Mac Jones came in at quarterback. Jalen Hurts is also injured and did not throw during warmups.
Here’s a clip of the hit on Tagovailoa:

Really? Gary said it was a shot to the knee… He is always right I thought.
lol he better put some ice on it. Refs wanna be dirty why cant players?
So was that dirty?
yea it was the coaches was prolly in their ear about doing that.
this just shows without tua yall are nothing…
Lol ya should know….. 2nd and 26 but to my knowledge miss state still is score less we beat LSU we still undefeated can you say the same as for them mutts
Speak English, moron.
I’ll translate… UGA lost by 20 to a team Bama shutout…
And UCF beat a team that crushed Bama…Great logic…Try holding Arkansas to under 30 next year.
Bama beat UGA… Try not getting blown out next year..
its like you had a stroke while typing that comment…
and it appears it is time for your nap again
Refs have been pathetic but the block un the back if you put yourself in the shoes of the ref he could only see the front of bama player if he saw it from a diff angle he would have seen it wasnt a clipping..I think people overreacted to that it was his view to me that was the problem. The play on Tua was questionable. The player looked like in the slow motion that he was aiming for the injured leg.
I dont think it was dirty. It was low but he is going for the tackle and they are trying to not get a targeting penalty..
How on Earth is this a penalty, BamaTime…?
A shot to the knee to a qb in passing stance is a penalty… Gary said it was a shot to the knee.. He is always right according to you…
BamaTime, this is what anyone who has ever watched football before calls a sack…
I can’t help you dont know the rules. Hitting a QB in the knees in his passing stance is a penalty…
Are you watching the video…He is out of his passing stance when he gets sacked…LOL
Oh he definitely braced for the impact he seen coming…
That’s definitely a sack. Bogus call. Again. Tua tucked the ball and had time to take steps. Get Saban’s male appendage out of your mouth. Bama’s good but they most definitely have been helped today
As always
What bogus call?? There wasn’t a penalty called on the sack. Do you even know what you’re talking about??
Referring to Bamatime’s comment. He tends to wear glasses made from an elephant’s ass
Technically, anytime the tackler leads with the crown of the helmet, that is targeting. Doesn’t matter if it’s a runner or passer, helmet to helmet or helmet to body. Leading with the crown is targeting.
It wasn’t targeting.
It wasn’t called targeting, but by definition it was. “No player shall make forcible contact with the crown (top) of the helmet” The tackler most definitely made forcible contact with the crown of the helmet to the leg of the QB.
Incorrect…. That hit wasn’t remotely close to the head or neck area… A shot to the knees is a penalty but not targeting.
As a Dawg fan, it’s quiet embarrassing seeing everyone so happy tua is hurt. Hopefully he recovers fast and comes back for the SEC championship game. I would much rather beat Alabama out right. Not saying it will happen just saying I’d rather both teams be at full capacity.
I am with you. I want Bama and UGA healthy when they play. I would hate for the playoff implications and possibly a national championship to be decided cause folks are hurt. I know the Dawgs are banged up on the o-line and Bama,man Tua is struggling with that knee. I want him healthy…I am not biased even though I am a Bama fan. I think the dawgs beat Bama in SEC championship game cause they will control the clock but red zone o needs to get better
Man if Georgia’s red zone offense doesn’t get better, there’s no chance again Bama. I think there’s a slim chance Georgia wins even with better red zone play. Definitely want them healthy though!
Bamatime please stfu and get off these boards you troll! You’re a disgrace.
lol your one of the few good bama fans.
and ur one of the few idiot dawg fans
So as a defender busting through the line….the crown of your helmet just so happens to land on the injured knee of the QB? I call Bull Sh.. The opposing teams are going after that leg and that makes me sick.
