Bull fucking shit. That is all on Saban 100%. He was clearly hurting and not healed last week, gutted it out, and should've played 2 series today just to keep him sharp. Saban is the coach and obviously knows better. He wanted style points and got the worst situation possible.
on the other hand, that's the risk a coach feels compelled to take when his team is fighting for a playoff berth while not being undefeated. urban talked about this a couple weeks ago. heck, urban specifically mentioned how style points put players at risk of injury.

on the third hand, tua hasn't been 100% healthy and has been prone to injury.

Exactly. Saban is in a position where if he doesnt play Tua and they miss, he'll get pilloried for it end of year... and miss all those bonuses.
If he does and Tua gets injured, he'll get roasted in short term... but get an out for performance the rest of the year.
