Tua Tagovailoa was injured with three minutes remaining before halftime when he was brought down by two Bulldogs defenders while rolling to his left on a third-down play. Crimson Tide coach Nick Saban said after the game that the drive was going to be Tagovailoa's final one of the game. Saban said Tagovailoa was still in the game to practice a two-minute drill. "That was going to be his last series," Saban said. "We were going to do two-minute before the half was over just for practice. The Tide was leading 35-7 at the time of the injury
