Then a 1 loss bama will slide into the playoffs and the excuse will be now that Tua is healthy it’s hard to argue that bama is not one of the four best teams in CFB.
If Tua's injury is bad, they won't make it out of Jordan-Hare either.

So, you think it could be:
LSU
Ohio State/Penn State winner
Clemson
AND
1 loss Alabama over
Unbeaten Oklahoma?
Will never happen.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Wisconsin beats Ohio State and Ohio St. beats Penn St. to give us a huge mess with the winner of Bama/ LSU, Clemson, Oklahoma getting in. Then having to decide on 1 loss teams like Ohio St, Penn St, Wisconsin, Bama/ LSU, Florida and others to get the last spot. It’s time for a six or 8 team playoff.

either we are going to b playing a seriously hampered Tua, or a Bama team with a backup QB playing, good news for us either way. 
Just got to make sure the refs aren't able to do their thing

Yeah, he was also an all SEC pole vaulter. Although it's not in his Wikipedia bio, he grew up in Homer, LA in NW LA.

I think this is the same procedure Hurts had last year 2 weeks prior to the LSU game. He was out for the LSU game, and he was hobbled.
this is why I love TD. I was trying to figure this out this morning. Edit: Nah, this was probably discussed already but Tua got the high ankle sprain in the SECCG last year.
Here’s an excerpt from an article written last December about it:
quote:
First, Nick Saban said after the SEC Championship he expects Tagovailoa will be good to practice within two weeks of the injury. He repeated that timeframe Thursday in Atlanta noting they were pleased with the progress made so far.
When Dr. William McGarvey of Katy (Texas) Orthopedics saw the injury, he said it looked to be on the severe side of the scale.
“A two-week recovery time is about as fast as I’ve heard of anybody trying to get back on the field with a true high-ankle injury,” Dr. McGarvey said while noting he hasn’t seen Tagovailoa since the injury and wasn’t familiar with the treatment plan.
It’s worth noting that Tua had just over 3 weeks to recover from his procedure and he looked great (about 100%) against Oklahoma.
He’ll have almost exactly the same timeframe, so we’ll see what happens.

My son had this surgery in high school, and I work in this field. 3 weeks would really be pushing it, and would put his career at risk. I don't think they will push this hard.
On the money.
Theres not a foot and ankle orthopod in the country that would tell you with a straight face one can safely return to full play in CFB 3 weeks after this surgery. Bama may be willing to risk it on Tua's ankle. Tua shouldn't be and I'd advise him to get an unbiased second opinion. The syndesmosis is theoretically stable from the tight rope, but the ligaments wont scar in and heal for MINIMUM 4-6 weeks.

Just beat whatever Bama team shows up, with tua without tua don't matter, you just handle business either way, that's all I care about, hopefully with Tua

I've been managing ASC's and OR's for 20 years, and have been around a lot of sports med practices, and agree 100%. Stranger things have happened, but I think its unlikely he will play.
Posted on 10/20/19 at 3:23 pm to GusMcRae
It won’t make a hill of beans difference if you can’t put pressure on him. All this bullshite of dropping KLavon Chaisson into coverage and then having 3 rush won’t work against a 1 legged Tua. Pressure. We recruited Klavon to be a pass rusher not a DB.
Posted on 10/20/19 at 3:23 pm to RadarTiger
Don’t worry TUA will be 100% for LSU game believe that!!
Posted on 10/20/19 at 3:25 pm to GusMcRae
They will still beat us with a one legged tua!!

I think he will play, but it will be clear, unequivocal proof of Bama putting their own team goals over this kids long term future. This isn't TO rushing to play in the super bowl. This is a college kid who has yet to cash in on his talent.

Dude, (1) it's her son, and (2) Tua stands to make more when drafted than you will in a lifetime. It is what it is...

Freaking this! Send Chiasson, Phillips, and Stevens constantly. Tua will be immobile. Please blitz! If you lose blitzing, so be it. If you lose sending 3 or 4 defensive linemen, then that's unacceptable.

This surgery actually requires drilling a hole through the fibula and tibia bone and inserting a band to stop the bones from spreading out from downward pressure. Seems like Bama is rolling the dice with this kid’s future if they roll him out there again.

No way he will play in 3 weeks. He blew his syndesmotic ankle ligaments, necessitating a polyethylene cord placed in drilled hole across the distal tibia and distal fibula. He is probably out for the remainder of the season, especially if he is expecting a pro career, certainly not for a college game, IN MY HUMBLE OPINION.

"The TightRope is a belt-and-suspenders type of of device that limits motion between the tibia (shin bone) and fibula (calf bone) at the ankle, essentially taking over the job of the ligament while it heals,” said Christopher Hodgkins, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon with Miami Orthopedics & Sports Medicine Institute. “It’s an aggressive surgical approach that can help professional and collegiate athletes get back to play at between two and four weeks.”

AL.com's sources claim that Tua's high ankle sprain is "a bad one", despite his ability to ambulate following the injury.
