Nick Saban reported to ESPN’s Molly McGrath at halftime that Tua Tagovailoa hurt his hip. Also, the junior quarterback was holding a towel against his bloodied face, which we do not know the extent at this time.
ESPN's Molly McGrath reporting the injury is his hip, not his ankle. She says Tua was screaming on the cart and had to be helped off it in the tunnel.
