WATCH: Heisman moment? Tua Tagovailoa delivers amazing TD to Henry Ruggs

A question has floated around college football in recent days, if not weeks. Does Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa have a Heisman moment?
He may have delivered it early in the fourth quarter in the Iron Bowl on a pass he launched to WR Henry Ruggs III.
With a pump fake to the right side of the field, Tagovailoa looked back left and wound up for a 22-yard pass to Ruggs, who leaped in the back of the end zone and came down with the touchdown.
Alabama 45, Auburn 21, 14:27 left in the fourth quarter.
It was Tagovailoa’s fifth touchdown in the game, and he was 25-for-32 passing for 324 yards.
That is the most touchdown passes by an Alabama quarter in the Iron Bowl, and it ties the school record for touchdown passes in a game. Gary Hollingsworth threw five against Ole Miss in 1989.
Serious question not meant to knock Tua because his season has been INCREDIBLE but what has been his Heisman moment?? Third quarter TD vs Citadel?
