🏈 Tua’s Limp After Half Time

[AirForceBamaFan]

Any news on Tua’s limp after half time? Haven’t seen or heard anything.

Saban said "he's not hurt" when asked but the way he quickly answered it kinda makes me wonder.

Could be a groin issue. He definitely took some hits running the ball.

 

[JoshB]

Could be a groan issue. He definitely took some hits running the ball.

That's where he worries me. He doesn't have the body/size to carry the ball like Jalen. He seems decent at sliding, though. The way he carries the ball worries me, too.

Announcer said it was calf cramps. He may have been just speculating

 

[Sgt. Lincoln Osiris]

It was still a balmy 85 degrees or so at kick, so likely cramps.

I don't think he played enough to cramp. He didn't even play a half.

I dunno man... His legs are like freaking tree trunks. The rappers call that "Slim Thick" :rolf:

Yeah but I don't think they're referring to quarterbacks... lmao His lower body is thick but he's just not got that overall size that Jalen has.

Pause lol

I thought it was leg cramps as well. Just the way Tua was pointing.

According to the internet, Tua is 6’1. 218, Jalen is 6’2 218. Not really not noticing a size difference making one more suitable for running!

Eli Gold never once last night said anything about Tua being hurt?

 

[Mgeod]

Where do you guys get he isn't as big as Jalen? I don't buy that at all . He has tree trunk thighs .

He probably didn't see it. They very briefly showed on camera Tua walking into the locker room right before the end of the first half and he seemed to be (sort of) limping. That was the extent of it.

It was cramps, they were rubbing down his calves on the sidelines and giving him fluids. I'd guess he didn't properly hydrate prior to the game or he was so busy during the game he was forgetting to hydrate. It can happen in no time if you're not taking care of yourself.

The key why this isn't an actual injury: They never took him into the tent and the doctor was never with him, was always just the training staff which generally means minor issues or cramps.

I don't think he played enough to cramp. He didn't even play a half.

As a former collegiate athlete that's somewhat out of shape currently, I still sometimes catch a cramp after 5 minutes of crazy-positioned secks in my ice-cold 71 degree house, without breaking much of a sweat. AND I drink a gallon of water a day.

Tua, being the well-conditioned affuleet dat he is, had been participating in athletic movement (between warm-ups and live game action) for well over 1.5 hrs with minimal rest between series. In 90 degree heat, sweating profusely. So if he missed just a few ounces of hydration, he was gonna cramp.

Mack Wilson was also catching cramps in the 1st half.

I thought he was walking like that to make room for that big set of balls he has when it comes to playing the QB position!:rolf:
