Tua & that class of wide receivers (Jeudy, D. Smith, Ruggs III, +) has already turned out to be a MONSTER recruiting haul, and they’re all still true sophomores- true freshmen when this game was played.
I’m just blown away how Smith ran the whole way watching the football and ran straight for the goal line catching that football just before he got there! That’s talent and many hours of practice and all those receivers do it! Amazing guys and we notice!
What about “Biggest 3rd down of Bryce Young’s career. Ya need 10. Play clock at 0:04. From the pocket… launching DOWN FIELD!! UNDER THROWN!! AND INTERCEPTED!! KELEE RINGO HAS AN ESCORT DOWN THE SIDELINE… ALL THE WAY TO THE ENDZONE!! AND GEORGIA IS GONNA CONQUER THE CRIMSON TIDE!!”
@LeskoBrandon2x I mean, Georgia had an 8 point lead. The interception was enough, returning it for a TD meant nothing. It was a good moment...doesnt compete to a walk off 41 yard TD in overtime.
"Three receivers right, one to the left, straight back to pass, going deep, Throwing It Down the Far Side LINE...and it is CAAAAUUUUUGHHHT For a TOUCHDOWN! Devonte Smith! Wins the National Championship. Down the left sideline and wide open behind the defense. One true freshman to another!" I love Eli and the Spanish dude, but Sean McDonough broke this down and owns this call forever. RTR.
Josh Campbell can you imagine had IB2 had happened and that was the same ending? Their little tantrum on the late hit on Coker would have been a sane call.
Josh Campbell better than Barn?? 😆😆😆 Dude no one is worse than those 2 idiots trying to be even bigger one than that Fyffe character. No offense to the departed but he's the godfather of obnoxious play calling.
That last play was pure genius. The TE Irv Smith on the left played a perfect decoy on the short coverage guys and occupied the safeties in order to get Devonta open. On another note, no other college football announcer has better diction than Eli Gold.
despite Tua's lackluster performance in this year's match vs Clemson, I still cannot believe this game right here. For all the naysayers that say He folds under pressure... EAT THIS PERFORMANCE RIGHT HERE!!! DAMN. true freshman too
The Alabama announcers had every right to celebrate. The ga announcers thought they would be cute and make fun of Tua's name. I hope it left a bad taste in their mouth! Roll Tide!
I’m strictly Alabama Fan and A Tua fan but I really respect Kirby Smart and He really is an excellent coach! God Bless you and all your team players! They are blessed to have you!
Ive been an Alabama fan all my life , this beautiful throw by Tua and a great catch by Devonta ..2 True Freshman was one for the ages,..I live out of the south now and didnt see many tide games this year,, I was pretty amazed at just how many guys on Alabama 2017 team ..that werent starters last year,..Nick Saban builds champions
What a fitting cap to Devonta Smith's Bama career in 2020 winning the Heisman, Biletnikoff, National Title.and obliterating every SEC/Bama/National receiving record
This is just about as textbook as you can get for a long pass. The ball was perfectly thrown and just drops into the receiver’s hands in stride. And we got his little brother coming up. RTR for life.
I was at the game, and you could probably tell it on TV as well, but the mood of Bama fans when Tua went into the game was unbelievable....most all of us had been saying all year to play him. Then when he started shredding Georgia, their mood changed palpably. Georgia played an awesome game, and they couldn't have a better coach than Smart (except maybe Saban). Bama's offense looked completely different with him in there.
And please remember that Tua did NOT make all the good throws he could have when the receivers were open, nor did the receivers catch all his catchable throws. So Bama's offense COULD have done even better if the new quarterback and his wide-outs were sharper.
0:47 This was by far my favorite call by Eli! I can't recall a time when I ever heard him this excited! Plus, if you listen closely you can actually hear everyone in the announcer's booth high fiving each other and celebrating! The atmosphere was so palpable in that moment! ☺
Even though Tua is a small quarter back, growing up he must have watched a Dan Marino game or highlight at some point. I have never seen a passing quick release and pocket presence like that since the days of Dan Marino. This kid is THAT GOOD of a passer. He's like Russell Wilson with the quick release of Dan Marino. Tua may get one or 2 more National Titles under his belt if he plays a full season like that game. Super high football X's and O's football IQ . He was looking off the safeties like an experience NFL quarterback. This kid is the real deal !
Adam he's also like A.J.McCarron who was a hell of a passer and won 3 National Championships with Alabama. One as a backup QB and two as the starter!!!;
The best moment of this video for me, other than the TD, of course, was the look of anguish and disgust that Finebaum tried to conceal when Alabama won.
I would have loved to have Keith Jackson around to call a game like this! I can hear him now..."Well folks, Bama has done it again"... here's a "Whoa Nellie" to you...RIP Keith Jackson!
One of these days this play is gonna get old. But today -- almost three months afterward -- is NOT that day! Alabama wins!!! Alabama wins!!! Tua to DeVonta!!! Alabama wins!!! Glory to the National Champions!!! Alabama wiiiiiinnnnssss!!!!!!!!! :-D
Nope, it will never get old. Remember Teague stripping the ball from that Miami receiver? Van Tiffin's kick? Goal line stand against Penn State? The classics never get old, only better.
November 9, 2019 - Still not old. Also, Jeff is right. I still watch George Teague stripping the ball from Lamar Thomas and get chill bumps. Of course that also has to do with the fact that leading up to that game all Miami did was run their mouths about how fast Thomas was and that no player can outrun him. George Teague disagrees.
In the COACH"S ROOM, Mike Gundy of OSU never even blinked. It was like "I'm watching some game with two teams that are where I'll never be and I was so close that year." In 2011, Okla State was undefeated, ranked #2 after LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in Tuscaloosa and they beat Kan State 52-45 in Stillwater on Nov 5th then beat Texas Tech 66-6 the next week. But they lost at Iowa State 37-31 in 2OT's on a Friday Night ESPN game on Nov 18th and ended up in the Fiesta at #3 where they beat #4 Stanford. But only Alabama could win the college football national title game in overtime with a walkoff score. This was super sweet, #17. ROLL TIDE ROLL ONE MORE TIME.
I like when Saban said they ran Seattle .That last play was amazing throw. Ii can hear from all over the world when that ball was flying up in the air. Lol.
Remember tuas first series on a third and long he ran the ball and was surrounded by 3 or 4 dogs and shouldve been down short of the first down, then he spun left and got behind a couple of tide players who were aware enough to keep the play going.?yeah that was the play that got the crimson Rollin
I'm a Bama fan and never heard Georgia's radio broadcast of this before. I'm impressed with how professional they kept it. I like to think Eli Gold comes off the same way. He's a loved man in this state. Respect
Oh, they were dogging Tua when he got sacked. Saying, " how do you pronounce his last name? Tua tongue tied? Well his last name isn't gonna matter long..." and then " Sweet Jubilation, and the dogs were heartbroken. "
