Alabama running back Damien Harris leaps into the end zone for a touchdown during Saturday night’s home win against Missouri.TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Tua Tagovailoa gave the Alabama football team a momentary scare. So did Missouri.
As usual, things turned out just fine for the top-ranked Crimson Tide.
Tagovailoa passed for 265 yards and three touchdowns but didn’t return after aggravating a right knee injury in Alabama’s 39-10 victory over Missouri on Saturday night.
The Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) shrugged off another overmatched league foe, but the star quarterback went down after sliding at the end of a run in the third quarter.
Tagovailoa went to the medical tent on the sideline after tweaking a sprained right knee. He was joined by his parents, and former starter Jalen Hurts led the Tide the rest of the way with a big lead over the Tigers (3-3, 0-3).
