VIDEO: Taulia Tagovailoa Throws First Career TD Pass at Alabama
It's been a rough last couple weeks for Alabama fans. First they lost to their arch-nemesis LSU at home after years of having the upper hand in the rivalry. Then, they lost quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the season with a hip injury. However, you can never keep Bama down, as they've dominated Western Carolina on Saturday. Things were made even sweeter when Tua's younger brother Taulia Tagovailoa threw his first-career TD for the Tide:
The future of Alabama football?

In garbage time of Alabama's game against Western Carolina on Saturday, Nick Saban decided to give Taulia some run. He didn't disappoint, throwing a TD pass and flashing potential of what he can do in the future.
And his parents were there to celebrate!

What's even crazier is that just a few days ago it looked like the freshman was going to be redshirted for the year, but now won't be because of his brother's injury.

While it's the Mac Jones show for Bama moving forward, Taulia has proven he'll be ready when his number is called.
