Tua Tagovailoa in Good Spirits in First Tweet Since Suffering Season Ending Injury
By Sam Dunn
The college football landscape changed in a big, big way when Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa went down with a dislocated hip Saturday on the road at Mississippi State. The Tide won the game, but they lost their superstar for the rest of the season.
Facing the darkest moment of his football career, Tua took to Twitter with a message of grace and positivity.
Thank you all for the prayers and well wishes! God always has a plan ??

The road back to the gridiron will be a long one for Tagovailoa, and he'll be tested in many ways. But for now, at the very least, he's staying hopeful.
He got a vote of confidence from the reigning NFL MVP, too.
Prayers up @Tuaamann hope this is just a minor setback in a bright future!

Whether Tua's college career is over is now an open question. And when he does come back, it's likely that his style of play will be affected considering the serious nature of a hip dislocation. But if this tweet is any indication, the guy has his head twisted on right.
