Scott Frost (ironically) blasts Alabama coach Nick Saban over Tua Tagovailoa situation

Nick Saban's bold QB move in the national title game has some Ohio State fans questioning Urban Meyer Is that fair

Nick Saban's bold QB move in the national title game has some Ohio State fans questioning Urban Meyer Is that fair

"He has unbelievable talent, unbelievable release and can get out of trouble as you saw"'. "This was a great win for our players and I've never been happier in my life", Saban told ESPN's Tom Rinaldi. But don't be so quick to lash out and criticize Hurts, because Tagovailoa has his back.

"You would think that with two highly-touted guys there would be a lot of animosity, but that is not the case with Jalen and Tua", sources said during the year.

Tagovailoa entered the game at halftime, replacing a struggling Jalen Hurts, and threw three touchdown passes to give the Crimson Tide its fifth national championship since 2009 under coach Nick Saban. His successor as defensive coordinator hasn't been named yet, but there's no reason to think that Alabama won't put another dominant team on the field next season.

"A very motived unit, one that was ready to go get it", Hurts said.

He drove Alabama's offense downfield on the initial drive after intermission, capping it with a six-yard touchdown pass to Henry Ruggs III that cut the lead to 13-7 with 8:52 in the third quarter.

The true freshman turned Alabama's fortunes from lackluster to blockbuster, in a come-from-behind victory in the national title game against the Georgia Bulldogs Monday.

"[I told him] just be yourself and play your game", Hurts said.

Tagovailoa's 41-yard bomb to receiver DeVonta Smith on the second possession of overtime caused the Titans quarterback to jump off his couch in Nashville. Will Hurts return as the starting quarterback in 2018 or will Tagovailoa officially take over as the signal-caller of the future?

The Tide remained determined and steadily began erasing the deficit.

The Post's report said Trump asked why the United States would need more Haitians and suggested the government "take them out". The remarks stirred criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, along with the mainstream media.

It was unclear why the four Republicans were there, and the session did not produce the results the two senators were hoping for. The comments revived charges that the president is racist and roiled immigration talks that were already on tenuous footing.

Saban described the comeback win against Georgia on Monday, sparked by the entry of backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, as his happiest moment.

Tagovailoa attended a Saint Louis football camp when he was in the fourth grade, and in a story in The Oregonian back in 2014, he said Mariota took him under his wing at the camp. Alabama went on to lose to No. 2 Notre Dame 24-23 in the Sugar Bowl, giving the AP title to the Fighting Irish.

Kiffin repeated that he would have had Alabama throw the ball more than it did against Georgia.

It was especially troubling because Alabama's kicker, Andy Pappanastos, already had missed two previous field-goal attempts, including a shanked kick at the end of regulation that would have won the game.

"They're the Giants", Arians said.

The downside: Going to the Giants would mean that Saban would have to actually, you know, work for someone.

Much of what Frost says is agreeable to many.

It's fitting that CG Technology sports book vice president Matt Holt has a 30-1 futures bet that he placed in May on Georgia to win the national title.
