Gonna be a very interesting season and I just wanted to share some takes and discuss what we could be seeing when things kick off here later this month.
Tua Tagovailoa is the wrong QB to be getting the Heisman hype. This reminds me a lot of the hype Garrett Gilbert was getting at Texas after his performance filling in for Colt McCoy in the 2009 National Title game. Tua will have a great offensive line and Alabama will lean heavy on the run game so I have no clue why anyone who knows how Nick Saban runs that program would by into any Alabama QB stock. Personally, I'm not even sure if Tua is a Top 5 QB in the country (Just such a small sample size to make a fair assesment).
If I'm looking at a QB who could produce Heisman numbers then I'm looking at Will Greer (WVU) who brings back his #1 target in David Sills. The Mountaineers are going to be a high powered offense and could very well push for a Big 12 title if injuries don't slow them down and Greer will be the leader of it all.
I'd buy more stock in Ohio State's Dwayne Haskins or Texas' Sam Ehlinger over Tua Tagovailoa. That is NOT me saying both are better QB's but in the offensive systems that OSU and Texas run the QB is called to do more than Tua will be called to do at Alabama.
