Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa was the Heisman Trophy favorite for most of the season, but was passed on Saturday night as Oklahoma QB Kyler Murray took home the hardware.
Many think Tagovailoa should have won, leading the Crimson Tide to a perfect regular-season record.
On Sunday, after the Alabama basketball team beat Arizona, coach Avery Johnson threw his support behind Tagovailoa at the end of his press conference:
Before Avery Johnson exits his postgame press conference, he says, "I voted for Tua."

Tagovailoa still has a chance to win a second national championship, though, and that’s the ultimate goal.
Guess who’s waiting for him in the College Football Playoff semifinal? Yep, Murray and the Sooners. Tagovailoa will have his chance for revenge.
