I didn’t watch Bama enough with Tua to know what kind of offense they played with Tua, was it mostly in mop-up duty, was the offense more “vanilla” when he was in there? It just seemed to me that Georgia wasn’t fully away of what Tua was capable of.

I confess that I did not pay attention. Husband and I would drive to a restaurant to watch the games. By halftime, the games were pretty much in the bag. We would head home and listen to the rest of the game on the radio. Husband has been so busy this season that he would even sleep through that radio broadcast. But he would find the game on the Internet and watch the parts he slept through. Tua was allowed to play with the Ones when he came into a lot of the games. Usually, Saban will take out all of the ones and put in twos and threes. But Tua worked with all of the players.
During bowl preparations, Jalen was sick with the flu. Tua had to be ready to play, and the coaches were obviously confident that he could do it. Kirby had to know about that. During previous years, the Bama media department posted so many practice videos and bowl prep videos. This year, they posted almost nothing.
