Agreed WLAT, but candidly, he didn’t have much of a choice. Their starting qb’s skill set wasn’t working against the sturdy georgia defense. QB’s and athletes in general don’t always have their best stuff and sometimes don’t just match up against certain defenders.
Our coach had a chance to do this in game 5,6,7,8, 9, 10,etc. If a QB or any player joins the team in January of 2017 as an early enrollee, by the time January of 18 comes around, they have 12 months in the system. At this point they are a sophomore or a RS Frosh.
I liked the Tua QB. He made a big mistake and then hit the powerball. I just had something hit me and it didn’t come from mrs. huff. Foster reminds me of ……Randy Moss. When he is in the play, he busts his tail. When he is not in the play, his first couple steps are weak. He still ends up in nfl because of his 4.3 speed, not because of his catching prowess at alabammer.

Obviously you can play freshmen, when they are the best of the best and they are surrounded by the best of the best. His first run, when he broke tackles, and got the first down was the play of the game and there were many.
Saban is a great coach because he recruits the best players.
Just saying, but those guys all look like they are on steroids. When a guy punches an opponent, then wants to fight a coach, then nearly decapitates a player, it makes you wonder.
