It’s becoming a story every Saturday: Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa broke another record.
With three touchdown passes in the first half, Tagovailoa is now Alabama’s all-time leader in passing TDs. Taogvailoa entered Saturday tied with former UA quarterback AJ McCarron at 77 career passing touchdowns. Tagovailoa became the all-time Alabama leader in the first quarter with some help from star Crimson Tide WR Jaylen Waddle. Here’s a clip of the record-breaker:

Tagovailoa came close to TD No. 4 in the first half, but a pass in the end zone was intercepted. It was the third-year QB’s first pick of the season.
Tagovailoa and company lead Texas A&M 24-13 at the half in College Station.
