Did Tau get hurt again?

Yes, Jones was going in, Tua lobbied to go in, Saban let him in.

He was just carted off the field! Looks like right knee and he had a bloody right eye or cheek.

Season over!

Just said it was his right hip. He is done.

You all know I am the last person to call out Saban,  but that was the worst decision of his career!

He can say what he wants,  but I just was texting with my son who is at game. Jones was warmed up and in huddle,  Tua ran into huddle from sideline and then Jones was sent to sideline. 

There was NO plan to get Tua 2 minute drill experience,  Saban made a full emotional decision and it ended our season and no telling what it did to Tua.

I feel so bad for Tua and the players on this team.

 

EDIT I was wrong, or rather my son was wrong. He just texted me that Mac Jones was not in huddle, his buddies corrected him.

That makes me feel better about Saban. At least he didn't let Tua change his mind.

yep.. saban said tua didn't lobby for that 2 minute drill, but it was clear he did and he was allowed to do it..  Tua even playing was questionable with how bad his ankle was after that LSU game.. you guys winning today was going to happen even with mac jones.. msu really stinks..  i hate seeing guys get hurt especially in college.

I understand him playing,  look, he was very rusty against LSU. But putting him in when we are 35-7 was risky.

I said on 2nd down if Tua gets injured,  I would murder Saban. I won't do that, but I'm really disappointed!

i don't understand him playing to be honest.. you could tell right away in the 1st few drives he was limping and he took some big shots.. i commented on it above.  you guys have a cupcake next week where he could have played if being rusty was a concern with tua.  I just felt he should have taken a week off for some more time to heal and then give him some playing time next weekend..  i do agree with you up 35 to 7 he should have not been allowed to get back into the game, but he wanted to play so the coaches let him play for one more drive which was obviously a mistake.  it's one thing if tua was 100% healthy then yeah let him continue to play, but he is far from it..  i hate seeing him in that much pain.. that reminded me of chubb's injury.. he was screaming out in pain as well.

Seems like it is pretty bad if the need to shield Tua getting into the ambulance 

 

 

This game is wild. So many injuries

I think they allows shield players getting into ambulance.  I know Bama does.

@SacFalcFan I haven't heard anything on Davis. That would really just be gas on the fire!

Injuries have just killed us this year, starting with Mosses that happened before the season EVEN started!

Ah, makes sense. I just couldn’t recall seeing something like that before.

You play your starters in the first half of an SEC road game, idc the score. You can be mad at Saban, but is he supposed to predict freak injuries? No. Playing Tua was the right call  

Like I said, I have no problem starting him, but once we are up 35-7, take him out.

Look, he had a great game, I didn't see him limping,  but he is still in the "game time decision " protocol. 

Do you remember Tyrone Prothro? Sheila ruined his career! There is a point when you a coach should say, I've seen enough.

Prothro’s injury happened late in the 4th quarter. Tua’s happened in the 2nd. I have no issues playing the starters an entire half against an SEC team. Idc who it is
