KNOXVILLE, Tenn. Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa wiggled through the pocket, stepped away from pre sure in the pocket and uncorked a down-field pa s to Henry Ruggs III for a 41-yard touchdown before taking a straight-on shot from Tenne see linebacker Daniel Bituli.Tagovailoa limped to the sideline, but he confirmed along with coach Alabama coach Nick Saban afterward that he’s fine. Tagovailoa will be ready for the next fight at LSU after the bye week. The fight against Tenne see in which Tagovailoa threw his fourth and final touchdown pa s through a stiff wind with 12:53 left in the third quarter had been decided at that point.MORE: No. 1 Alabama won 58-21 and heads into the bye week with a perfect 8-0 record and the same-old question for the rest of the field in the FBS: Who wants Bama? Actually, forget that one.Try these instead: Can anybody start a fight with Bama? Will Tagovailoa ever have to finish that fight? Tagovailoa, who finished 19 of 29 for 306 yards, remains at the controls of the most-intimidating offense in the FBS and has yet to take a fourth-quarter Jose Iglesias Jersey snap in 2018.”We’re going to be more challenged in games,” Alabama coach Nick Saban said. “It’s always the situation. We’ve been 8-0 to this point quite a few times, but it’s about how you finish.”Pick a word to describe Alabama’s offense.Prepared. The Tide opened Saturday’s game with a methodical nine-play drive, capped by Tagovailoa’s cro sfield pa s for an 11-yard touchdown to Jerry Jeudy, who left Tenne see’s Bryce Thompson with no choice to swat the ball Sparky Anderson Jersey out of his hand. It was perfect just like Tagovailoa and teammates pictured it would be before the game.”We kind of close our eyes and we all meditate what we do for that play to be succe sful,” Tagovailoa said. “It’s one of those things where you just take it a play at a time.”Alabama’s defense forced a fumble and two three-and-outs after, and the Crimson Tide scored three straight touchdowns to start the game. Tagovailoa’s 77-yard touchdown connection with Jaylen Waddle with 8:08 left in the quarter a throw that split two Tenne see defenders highlighted that 28-0 quarter. The Tenne see band had not reached double-digit renditions of “Rocky Top” yet, but the overwhelming first punch landed.”It’s an emphasis on starting fast,” Ruggs said. “We practice starting fast. That’s just the biggest thing that Coach (Mike) Locksley emphasizes. We want to start fast, and that’s what we did.”MORE: Alabama’s first-half offense is the most devastating phenomenon in the FBS. The Crimson Tide have outscored opponents 165-31 in the first quarter and 310-58 in the first halfthrough eight games, and the Tide don’t let up in the second quarter.Saban said the pa s protection was the key for the long pa s plays in the first half.”There were a couple of plays that we made where we really had a lot of time,” Saban said. “If it were a seven-on-seven drill, and I’m the defensive person and there was that much time, I would tell the offensive guys they were cheating.”Pick another word to describe that offense.Fluid. Tenne see’s Keller Chryst led a pair of scoring drives to give Tenne see (3-4) a spark in the second quarter, the second coming with 2:05 remaining. Tagovailoa, however, guided a Michael Fulmer Jersey nine-play drive with big gainers to Waddle and Jeudy. Tagovailoa finished the drive with a 9-yard touchdown pa s to Irv Smith for a 42-14 halftime lead. One beleaguered Tenne see fan, so incensed at the situation, could only in frustration.”The ice doesn’t bother me at all,” Saban said. “I’d rather have somebody upset when we’re on the road than happy with the circumstances.”Another word to describe that offense:Unfinished. Tagovailoa didn’t return after that last touchdown pa s, which followed a safety and gave the Tide a 51-14 lead. The sophomore was replaced by Jalen Hurts, who finished a series record-12th straight victory against rival Tenne see and showed former Alabama defensive coordinator and first-year Tenne see coach Jeremy Pruitt just how wide that gap is when it comes to the Third Saturday in October.The most-talked about star in college remains Tagovailoa. He hasn’t thrown an interception. He hasn’t thrown a pa s in the fourth quarter this season. He is the Heisman Trophy front-runner heading into November.The only drama at Neyland Stadium came in the final minute. Running back Damien Harris shouted at Tagovailoa, who joined the senior running back to give former Tenne see coach and now Alabama analyst Butch Jones a while a Tenne see fan chanted, “Get the hell out of Tenne see, Butch!” From there, cigar smoke billowed from the visitor’slocker room again.”This whole week we were talking about Coach Butch being able to smoke a cigar finally,” Tagovailoa said. “He finally got that opportunity. We’re happy for him.”MORE: With Tagovailoa, the Crimson Tide have done nothing but throw first-half knockouts. Now they take on a November grind of their SEC schedule, beginning with the Nov. 3 showdown at LSU.One Jackie Robinson Jersey more word to describe how this Alabama offense might be remembered if this continues.Immortal. That carrot is out there until somebody picks a fight with this team. LSU might do it. Perhaps it’s Georgia or Florida in the SEC championship or Clemson, Ohio State, Michigan or Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff. None of those teams, however, has looked quite like this through the first two months of the season. The Crimson Tide added 218 rushing yards and four rushing TDs against the Volunteers. Tagovailoa used the word “fun” repeatedly to describe, but there are so many other wordsthat fit better.Prepared. Fluid. Unfinished. Immortal. They all work.Alabama averages 54.2 points per game and is still on pace to give the 1944 Army team, which averaged a FBS record 56 ppg., a run for the all-time record. The Tide are just as feared now as the Black Knights were back then.The scariestpart? Tagovailoa perhaps taking a cue from his coach is nowhere near satisfied. He’s already preparing for the next fight.”We didn’t execute as well as we wanted to offensively,” Tagovailoa said. “I think we had two or three drives where we just didn’t get the defense time to regroup. This is where we go back to the drawing board, and we work on what we mi sed.”…
