1:05 you can really see just how hard he looked that safety off. Then to quickly turn your head and throw an absolute rope is just pure talent/skill.

That last play was pure genius. The TE Irv Smith on the left played a perfect decoy on the short coverage guys and occupied the safeties in order to get Devonta open. On another note, no other college football announcer has better diction than Eli Gold.

I was at the game, and you could probably tell it on TV as well, but the mood of Bama fans when Tua went into the game was unbelievable....most all of us had been saying all year to play him. Then when he started shredding Georgia, their mood changed palpably. Georgia played an awesome game, and they couldn't have a better coach than Smart (except maybe Saban). Bama's offense looked completely different with him in there.

@ClassicalLiberalWarrior

6 жыл бұрын

And please remember that Tua did NOT make all the good throws he could have when the receivers were open, nor did the receivers catch all his catchable throws. So Bama's offense COULD have done even better if the new quarterback and his wide-outs were sharper.

And now he's a Heisman Trophy winner!!!

despite Tua's lackluster performance in this year's match vs Clemson, I still cannot believe this game right here. For all the naysayers that say He folds under pressure... EAT THIS PERFORMANCE RIGHT HERE!!! DAMN. true freshman too

This is just about as textbook as you can get for a long pass. The ball was perfectly thrown and just drops into the receiver’s hands in stride. And we got his little brother coming up. RTR for life.

Truly never gets old. I come back to watch it at least 3 or 4 times a year

The end was great. Those coaches hated it.

What a fitting cap to Devonta Smith's Bama career in 2020 winning the Heisman, Biletnikoff, National Title.and obliterating every SEC/Bama/National receiving record

Hard to pick a favorite between these 2 scenes you mentioned here

Even though Tua is a small quarter back, growing up he must have watched a Dan Marino game or highlight at some point. I have never seen a passing quick release and pocket presence like that since the days of Dan Marino. This kid is THAT GOOD of a passer. He's like Russell Wilson with the quick release of Dan Marino. Tua may get one or 2 more National Titles under his belt if he plays a full season like that game. Super high football X's and O's football IQ . He was looking off the safeties like an experience NFL quarterback. This kid is the real deal !

That was the best college game I have seen. USC vs. Texas, Oregon vs Auburn, Bama vs Georgia

In 2011, Okla State was undefeated, ranked #2 after LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in Tuscaloosa and they beat Kan State 52-45 in Stillwater on Nov 5th then beat Texas Tech 66-6 the next week. But they lost at Iowa State 37-31 in 2OT's on a Friday Night ESPN game on Nov 18th and ended up in the Fiesta at #3 where they beat #4 Stanford. But only Alabama could win the college football national title game in overtime with a walkoff score. This was super sweet, #17. ROLL TIDE ROLL ONE MORE TIME.
