Saban is an A$$hole. This could have been avoided. all for "practice"... F U Saban
MSU grad
Well done, well done.
Those mean Miss State player couldn't win from the talented Alabama team, so they go hurt the fella! I hope State loses all it's remaining games & especially to Ole Miss!
Ben Wilkerson... Matt Mauck....
That whole situation sucks for him. I hope his draft position isn't negatively affected. I doubt he is back ready to go before the combine. I certainly am no Nick Saban, but Alabama could have beaten us (MS State) with their left tackle at QB. No need to leave him in that game that long especially with a recovering ankle. Prayers for TUA on a speedy recovery.
10:12, that was a clean hit. Not intentional at all. Just bad situation. You are literally the first person I have read a comment on the situation saying it was intentional.
Right! Those mean state defenders should have let him loose so he could run to his right and hit a receiver in the end-zone.
FOOLS BALL,,,,,Whothahellcares
The tackle was clean. Tua trying to protect the ankle may have been a factor. Bama coaches had 2 chances to get it right: 1. pull him from the game because he wasn't healthy and game in bag; and/or 2. get him to throw it away in that situation and not scramble.
This is really bad. Hips aren't like knees. It's much harder to return to pro athlete form after a major hip injury. Recent examples include Percy Harvin and Isaiah Thomas, who were both never the same after hip injuries not nearly this bad.
Nick was really stretching for an answer as to why he was still in the game when he came up with practicing their 2 minute drill.i. Injuries happen and their was nothing “dirty” with the tackle. Two big guys falling in Tua. But he had an injury that affected his movement when there was no need for him to stay in the game.
Probably guaranteed Tua an early hip replacement. I work with a former Big 10 offensive lineman. He was a three-year starter, is 39 years old and struggles daily with back issues. His HS freshman son is more than big enough but not allowed to play football. The boy though can hit the baseball a country mile.

What are you, twelve years old???
It's football. Clean tackle. Freak injury. Not MSU's fault NOR Saban's for keeping him in a game. Thanks to the committee system, you have to club everyone by 30 or else risk getting 'passed' over for a playoff spot...
He has two leg injuries and now this--he's seemingly too fragile for the NFL.
for the record-Bama grad.
An alternate theory is this: Saban knows/knew damned well he will not be in the playoffs, much less the National Champions. His best way out of this, given his ego, is to leave the boy in, in hopes of him re-injuring the foot/leg or hope for worse so he can blame being left out on Tua's non-availability. The man is a genius at deflection and escaping like shit through a goose. He needs to retire to Destin or either make hair plug commercials for Hair Clubs of America.
Nonsense discussion. Bama up 28, but State gets the ball to start the 2nd half. Suppose the Dawgs go down and score?
As I recall, a few hours later, LSU was up 24 at the half and, indeed, Ole Miss scores out of the gate to open the 2nd half. The game was a barn burner after that. I don’t recall any discussion about Orgeron pulling Burrow at the half.
And don’t give me this business about the Bama QB being already injured. His ankle wasn’t even wrapped, and he was moving well. No one at the time noted him “favoring” the ankle, unlike the week before against LSU. To say he shouldn’t have played is ridiculous unless you know something no one else seems to.
Finally, the Tide scored exactly 3 points in the second half without him. Had State been capable of pulling an “Ole Miss” in the second half, the game could have turned out much differently. How would Saban answer those questions?
Silly discussion. Football is a violent game. Injuries happen. It sux, but they happen.
One of the best CF QBs ever. Even better person. Freak accident in a competitive sport. Sad.
Nothing else matters, but the young man’s health. Not football, not money, and certainly not nasty things that people say here or anywhere about his team or his coach.
Sorry a player was injured. Wait, it was more than just one player hurt, there were SEVERAL players hurt during a contact sporting game Saturday in Starkville. This QB is just a guy that plays this sport. He’s really good and will play professionally one day. The other players are just as important to the human race as Tua. My Alabama friends act like a biblical event occurred when he went down. Most of them didn’t even attend school there. Some people need to realize its wrong to hero worship and that they look foolish when doing it.
10:43 AM. So you know......
Every college has fans who have never attended school there, and most schools welcome them to their fanbase. You look foolish even mentioning this as if it really matters. It doesn’t.
He's not dead.
No. Tua will not ever play professionally. And neither will Roy Lee Mullins who suffered a devastating injury while playing for Ole Miss - later dying as a result. Saban will not be admonished by peers or those to whom he (supposedly) reports. And life will go on (for most of us).
