Alabama Crimson Tide (official thread of Football, Fake Championships and Banjo)

So now Bama can fail to make the CFP play a team like UVA or Minnesota in the Sugar Bowl. Lose and then use the excuse that the game didn't matter to them...
Only to be ranked #1 pre season for 2020...

Well, sorry for Tua, but let's hope this pushes them out of the picture and the automatic bid...
My thoughts exactly. The easiest path to that is Clemson and tOSU winning out, and then either 1-loss Gawja beats LSU in their CCG or 1-loss Oregon beats Utah in their CCG.

Tua Tagovailoa resting after successful surgery on hip

Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa had successful surgery on his right hip Monday morning in Houston, and Tide coach Nick Saban said he wasn't second guessing his decision to play his star quarterback at the end of the first half in Saturday's 38-7 victory over Mississippi State.

Tagovailoa dislocated his hip, ending his season and possibly his college career. Sources confirmed to ESPN that he also suffered a posterior wall fracture.

"Tua's prognosis is excellent, and we expect him to make a full recovery," Alabama orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain said in a statement. "He will return to Tuscaloosa in the next several days to begin his rehab."

Tagovailoa was injured with three minutes remaining before halftime in Saturday's game, when he was brought down by two Bulldogs defenders while rolling to his left on a third-down play. Tagovailoa suffered a bloody nose and couldn't put pressure on his right leg when he was helped up by athletic trainers. He was carted off the field and eventually airlifted back to Birmingham for CAT scans and MRIs.

Cain told ESPN's Laura Rutledge that Tagovailoa will be on a partial weight bearing recovery plan for six weeks and will be rehabbing daily in Tuscaloosa. In three months he will be able to begin athletic activity again, and by the spring should be ready to begin throwing.

The hip wasn't the only injury Tagovailoa suffered on the hit. He was concussed and broke his nose, which doctors also repaired Monday.

Re: The hip wasn't the only injury Tagovailoa suffered on the hit. He was concussed and broke his nose, which doctors also repaired Monday.

Just sayin': He definitely had his share of injuries this year; high ankle sprain, dislocated hip, concussion, and broken nose.
