The year after Jalen Hurts was replaced by Tua Tagovailoa Alabama would once again face Georgia. In the 2018 SEC Championship backup QB Jalen Hurts stepped in for Tua after an ankle injury. Late in the fourth quarter Hurts would score the game winning touchdown leading the Tide to a 35-28 victory over the Bulldogs to win the conference.

The Tua/Jalen story will HAVE to be a 30 for 30 episode one day. One of the greatest stories ever in college football.
Agree!🥰
I think they will wait until two things: 1) they both play each other in the Super Bowl AND 2) they both retire from the NFL.
Turn to Jesus Christ

Hearing Saban choke up when talking about Jalen.. 😢 *GOAT*
Rest up Georgia, this time another Jalen will lead Alabama in an amazing win!
When he got benched I said to my dad they aren’t giving him a fair chance. Absolutely dominant and got his spot taken for 1 bad half. He comes in this game and gets his job done. Now a NFL quarterback. Biggest sleeper in history.
It made me so annoyed. Jalen gets benched for Tua and Tua leads the comeback and becomes the starter. Then Jalen does the same thing and he still gets benched.
Pure nonsense. Jalen struggled against good defenses down the stretch. 4th quarter comeback to beat Mississippi State. The loss to Auburn. Alabama was lucky to make the playoff after that. Alabama's defense dominated Clemson so the offense was very conservative. Shut out by Georgia for a half. Jalen was struggling with his reads and accuracy as a passer. He got a lot better the year he backed up Tua and in his season at Oklahoma.
Well it wasn’t just 1 bad half. He was in a slump for the past few games before the championship. Also he quite literally threw away a touchdown in that bad half.
@@carsonwood611 okay so bench him for 2 bad games? got it
@@BreezoOfficial bro you serious? He wasn't benched just because of 2 bad games. It was the fact it was the previous 2 and still wasn't playing any better. Like I said in the other comment if you read, he was literally and figuratively throwing away the game. like damn you gotta attitude for no reason
The amount of NFL players in this joint is ridiculous. Fly Eagles Fly.
Seeing Ruggs catch passes two years before his fatale decision kinda hurts to watch.
its like watching a ghost play
Odd time to say this but wtf did he just do in 3:13? The QB got some weird ball movement
Thought I was the only one
@@YourWARDhe flipped the ball to fit the laces how he wants it. Jake Fromm always does that. And it gives me the creeps everytime I see it too
As an Alabama fan, Jalen might be one of my favorite players ever. Extremely classy, mature, and a hell of a player throughout his insane career. Hope he brings that energy to the NFL.
Update he did, and hes gonna lead the eagles to a superbowl
Fly eagles fly
Yessir
I would say he is bringing that energy and then some.. Roll Tide!!
And now he’s the highest paid player in NFL history
Ready to see him and the eagles this year. Hope he has a good season
I wish him all of the success in the world. Jalen is my favorite player to ever wear crimson.
Eagles always pick fast qbs🤣
Eagles are a dumpster fire
Me to he’s a great guy
Yea it ain’t goin so well but could be worse
Jalen was and still remains my favorite QB in the Saban Era. This game is impossible to watch without a tear drop. RTR
Jesus Loves You! Romans 10:9
I cried like a baby seeing this young man come in and put this team on his back!! He was loyal when most folks weren't. I said what I said.
Lmao you cried over a grown man playing football It’s not that deep bro
@@stevelubs I'm glad you told that Joe Biden loving gun banning clown off, definitely not that serious!
@@stevelubs 😂😂
@@stevelubs imagine making this comment instead of literally saying nothing...it is that deep but apparently you are not
I don’t know if I’ve ever felt more proud watching a player…. After starting 2 straight seasons, and having an incredibly record, everything was taken away from… and instead of quitting he stayed because of his passion for the team and his faith in the QB coaching. What a true Chad
And then he later left 😂
I would've left too
Dude was a liability as a passer when playing real opponents, only slightly better verse the scrubs
@@reallhoxhoes8935 He graduated. You're an idiot.
@@carrenzarandon9736 he means left for Oklahoma, where he played his last year
The Bama backfield trio here might be another one we're gonna look back on they was just ridiculous
No joke.
I was bout to make the same comment but imma let you have it. They really could have ran the ball the whole game...lol
Still got blown out by Clemson
My favorite player of all time 🐐🐐🐐
Really?
@@LeskoBrandon2x - Mine as well, and I have been yelling Roll Tide for over 50 years. Jalen is, by far, my favorite player to ever wear crimson.
@@sam21462 that’s insane considering all the greats. Mark Ingram, Tua, Jalen Waddle, Amari Cooper, Trent Richardson… I’m a Georgia fan but Jalen is not at the top of the list when I think of all the bama greats to have come thru.
@@LeskoBrandon2x - Oh don't take it wrong, he is no where near the top of the list of the greats, I would probably go Derrick Thomas or maybe Joe Namath if I had to pick. Jalen Hurts is my favorite, for as much off the field as on. I don't think the young man took a wrong step the entire time he was at The Capstone. He was touted as a sure fire Heisman winner as a freshman and lost his job a couple of years later. In all of that, and the intense media circus that went along with it, he stayed true to his school, his team, and himself. While everyone begged him to change position all he ever said was "no thanks, I'm going to be an NFL quarterback". It wasn't a vanity, it was just the reality in his mind and by god he was right. I could go on and on about the guy, he was simply the perfect college athlete and he capped his entire career off at Alabama by earning his degree before being off to Oklahoma to prove all of the doubters wrong, just as he seems to be doing with the Eagles in the present. I just think the world of the guy and hope his time in the NFL is as amazing as he deserves. Roll Tide Roll
Another classic coming on in two weeks. If you’re a Alabama or a Georgia enjoy what we’re witnessing man. #RollTide
The definition of being humble coming back around to you
This was a legendary performance by Hurts. All time legendary
Seeing this today reminded me why I am the biggest Jalen Hurts fan. Just watched him take down the Chiefs last night on MNF. I am hoping its his year for a Super Bowl win! RTR!!!
Best comeback story ever! He should have left Alabama but didn't and when he was told he was no good he showed up in a great and big way! ROLL TIDE JALEN HURTS!
na his legacy is at oklahoma
@@reeeaaaalll he literally won a champion at Alabama as well as made other appearances in the championship. He only made it to the playoffs in 1 YEAR at Oklahoma. Trust me that trash ass Oklahoma team can’t claim him
@@reeeaaaalll nah he got smoke by LSU 63-28
@@carsonwood611you are not too damn bright are you?
@@sammychapman1730 ik you won’t respond Sammy, but how am I wrong? Obviously sammychampman1730 should be able to tell me otherwise?
I'm an Auburn fan and I got mad respect for what all Jalen overcome.
I can’t watch this without tearing up. Even after all this time it hits me right in the feels. What an amazing moment in history to have watched and celebrated live
Man, that Hurts He’s a great QB
Saban was all emotional because he knew he handled Jalen wrong,but the man didn't leave the team,and had 2save his butt in the end.
lol
I was born into a deeply crimson family almost six decades ago. I have seen so much history and so many great players over the years. The tale of these two quarterbacks is, almost certainly, the most unbelievably epic story in all of those years and, for me, Jalen Hurts is my favorite player to ever wear our colors. Roll Tide Roll
I was at this game. As a Dawg fan, it broke my heart. But in addition to being once again proud of Georgia, I feel like I witnessed history seeing that 2nd half comeback. Gutsy effort from Jalen Hurts. Go Dawgs!
Good game to Georgia too. They played hard. Georgia has my respect.
Yessir RTR
Hope to see u in the natty
@@Tristan15 likewise Bama. I think both of us will have great teams. Now we have the "Final 12". Imagine all those years that Georgia could have gone? Oh well, gotta play Bama at some point 🤣. Anyway, good luck, and we'll probably see y'all in Atlanta. #HunkerDownDawgs
@@georgiapeach6289 lol we will see yall in Atlanta Trust me RTR Respect George fans like u georgia Could have went far
The game that will go down in infamy. Legendary moment for the ages right here.
To me, this was the greatest moment in college football of my lifetime.
I assume that has now changed
It's awesome how Tua and hurts bailed each other out against the same team a year apart
He’s getting that confidence back. Jalen has the potential to be our franchise quarterback. I’m not from Philly but Philly stand up
LSU fan here n have so much respect for Jalen n know he wiĺ do great things for Eagles. This is a man that we all will remember for ever. God Bless n Geaux Tigers!
Hope to see you in Atlanta again. Go Dawgs. God Bless
Everything I have seen and heard about him his parents should be proud he is everything you want to see in a young man
Jalen Hurts was really a class act
This bama team had so much talent. Not even at the college level but just how many of these guys have already had solid beginnings to their Careers Just crazy to me how much talent was in one college, guys who could start anywhere playing as the second third string guys.
This should be shown to everyone of our players for this season.
Jalen will always be my favorite Bama player
They have been doubting Jalen this whole time...and he keeps proving everyone wrong
Alabama vs Georgia might be the greatest matchup in College football history. Always great games
I needed a little inspiration today. Thank you #JalenHurts
For Georgia to even be a competitor for Alabama with this loaded up team is alone impressive
What a time we had being able to witness this man do this
I’ll predict that Jalen Hurts will be the head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide some time in the future. I don’t know if I’ll see it personally but it will happen. Jalen’s future will be coaching after his NFL career. Coaching is in his blood.
That’s my QB! He’s grown so much since this too!
I was there as a 10 year old Bama fan sitting in the Georgia student section very chaotic
U are 13 or 14 ?
The Legend of Jalen Hurts whoo man what a story he wrote. A true leader
One of the coolest games I ever watched. There HAS to be Jalen/Tua Super Bowls because this story is too good to end.
Might be this year. There’s at least a regular season game
A total team player for finishing out the year
He gonna light it up this year!!
He been him!!
FZZZZZACTS
The amount of players who are dominating in the nfl rn that are in this game is absurd.
Didn’t even realize Justin fields on that fake punt too lol
fighters you are so right 3 starters in the NFL Tua, Hurts, and a chance Fields in Chicago.
@@KeepingItPlain2023 4 potential NFL starters....the three you named and Mac Jones was on this team. He has a chance up in New England if Cam doesn't work out.
@@handsomehebrew true that...whatever happen to Jake Froom?
@@KeepingItPlain2023 I think he was on the Bills practice squad. Not sure where he's at now.
The day everybody else fell in love with my qb1 I been told yall he was this when he stayed and everybody was hating for what ever reason and he was blessed because of it!
Its rediculous that a good portion of the time these teams are so stacked that the backups are better than the starters
What a game what a story man!!! I loved this team hate how it ended but that’s one of them seasons you look back on and your proud of the team anyways!! #RollTide
Fly eagles fly 🦅🦅🦅 that’s my QB !!!
One time in history just listen to the fans no one doubted Jalen, tua had the edge over him sure but Jalen is one of the best alabama qbs and did work
8:29 that might just be the fastest acceleration I’ve ever seen on a football field.. waddle gonna cause problems with Miami
This comment is aging very well so far
@@unfazed2370 yessir
One of my all time favorite college players for sure! The way he handled the pressure was just phenomenal! Such a great game!
Dam jalen did his thing that takes a lot to come out like that
They each came in the game for one another on two different occasions and saved the day lol smh crazy
Both championship games. Against the same team. I think in the same stadium.
Georgia has to hate Alabama by now 🤣🤣
This was a great game and I was so proud of Jalen hurts 🐘
Imagining you had Fields on your team and that’s and the best you could do
I mean, This years Ohio State had him and did even worse against Bama so….
@@hunterbrhs0772 that defense couldn’t tackle anyone on Bama and the refs robbed him a clear touchdown. Bama would’ve rolled most teams this year don’t kid yourself. Lawrence is lucky he lost to Ohio State.
@@morrowthewizard3945 Who got robbed?
@@marktastic86 there was a throw when they were only down two scores in the fourth to the back of the end zone to Wilson clearly one foot down you can see it clean on replay. They c all it out stands as out the Bama scores again cause that took the sails out of the opposing team. They score there it still was a game within reach. So yeah that’s a robbery in game. Not taking away from Bama they were a juggernaut last year but… that play had big impact in fourth quarter
@@morrowthewizard3945 Going into the 4th quarter it was 45-24. They were down 21 points. OSU defense could not stop anything. Literally. There was no way Bama was losing that game outside of a complete meltdown via turning it over at least 5 times. They could score whenever they felt like it.
So much god damm talent, had to come back and watch this
A lot of dudes! Maybe the best SEC title game ever. Roll Tide!!
Hurts could've left when his job was taken from him. But he stayed and got better and when his second chance, he was ready. Because he did that he got an opporutnity at OU, and now the Eagles. He is a natural born leader with an uncanny ability to know when to pass and when to run.
Agreed. Saban has openly stated that Hurts is one of his favorite players he's ever coached. You can tell it's true considering how choked up he got in the post-game interview for this one while talking about Jalen.
That's what happened at Clemson .... which shoes the glaring difference between Saban and Sweeney. Sweeney is a great coach... Saban is a great coach and a great man.
@@marktastic86 Yes, it is well known in Tuscaloosa that Jalen is Saban's favorite. Saban credits his family for his work ethic and he did come in with that. But I have noticed some Saban expressions and mannerisms in his post game interviews. If you think about it makes perfect sense because the way Jalen handles adversity is exactly how Saban would like for every player. Hurts lives Saban's philosophy better than everybody except maybe Saban himself.
Talk about poetic justice, man!
I remember this game Hurts was amazing
THE SUPRISE JUSTIN FIELDS APPEARANCE
My goodness Alabama will go down as 1 of the greatest college football team of all time
They are the greatest college football program of all time, and there isn't a close second.
@@marktastic86 Damn straight!🏈RMFTR🏈
What a game. What a story. Bama and UGA games tend to be classics. Hopefully soon they will be playing every year.
You're right. Just in my lifetime the 94, 02, 07, 12, 17, and 18 games were 1 score final drives decide the winner type games. Because of divisions teams don't play each other often but when bama and uga share the field, to quote lane kiffin, better get your popcorn ready!
What a guy~Clad his goodness is in Philly
I love how Saban gets choked up while talking about Jalen. Jalen is a class act, all the way!!!
BEST GAME EVER!!!
would say its absolutely heart breaking losing like this twice to bama but its Georgia fans they deserve it. sabans call the year before with Tua and this game with Hurts are why he is the greatest coach of all time. I am an Arkansas fan but its been incredible watching Saban and his players. There is not a thing in the world like SEC football. Now with Texas and OU joining honestly believe Texas will grow to be competitive however OU is going to regret the move and become the whipping boy.
Never gets old to watch this game, ROLLTIDE
Amazing is a strong word
SEC best conference in Football. I have no doubt. Anybody??
Yessir I was shittin my self the whole game
I feel this
#2 love that guy. RTR
Kirby, going for it on 4th and 11 late in 4th Qt was STUPID!!!
Relentless
I was so frustrated in the 3rd quarter that I git up and went to sit on the patio. It wasn't until my wife looked outside and told me the game was tied and Bama had the ball that I began watching again. I love and appreciate Tua but this comeback just meant more because it was Jalen leading the charge. I can't love this video enough!
I remember trying to yell at Saban through my TV screen to put Jalen in! 🤣
I fw jalen hurts bro I hope he has a good career
That's my Quarterback!!
I love how physical they get in uga vs bama games now it’s personal to both teams.
So many good players, it's not fair
god this game was so stacked with talent
Look at how many of the Bama splayers are in the league today😂 41of 52 players shown
And Damian Harris and Leatherwood!!🤯🤯🤯
Jalen is just a winner
THATS A WINNER! FLY EAGLES FLY
Poetic.
This was a star studded bowl.
way too much fucking talent on this field, some of the best current nfl players playing together and against each other. half these dudes my fantasy football picks lmao
He’s proof that if you put in the work, you can get better
How many 1st rounders in this game goddamn
I remember this when I first met Jalen Hurts fr I was like…hol on he’s kinda tuff😂😂
19:57 there's Josh Pate photobombing the interview. XD
Never tire of seeing this epic. Beating the dawgs is always fun.
Won't happen this year rip
Yeah I am afraid Alabama's second half pixy dust has ran out Alabama just has no chance against Georgia this year..
Count the All Pros! This is crazy
Shout out to the announcers at the end keeping it real on the “experts” they tried to ruin that man and he bounced back!
It's crazy how many nfl names that actually are doing big things in the pros were in this game
BRO GEORGA WAS SO HYPE THIS GAME I EVEN HAD GEORGA CAKE STUFFING MY FACE we ended up loosing like all years but ggs
