People have wondered for years what a generic Saban-era contender would look like with a Heisman-caliber quarterback at the controls, and this is it: 14 touchdowns on 20 possessions, most of them clocking in under three minutes with the benefit of at least one explosive play. Two-thirds of those big plays (14 of 21) have come directly via Tuaās left arm, including 5 of his 8 TD passes.
Extrapolate those numbers out over four quarters and thatās a 70-point pace in all three games, without breaking much of a sweat. As it is, Bama is in the very un-Saban-like position of boasting both the No. 1 scoring offense in the country and the top offense according to FPI ā¦ while also (by the way) retaining its more familiar perch there as the nationās No. 1 defense.
