Alabama QB Tua Tagovailoa becomes most popular CFB quarterback after latest tweet
Tua Tagovailoa has been beloved in Tuscaloosa ever since leading Alabama to a come-from-behind win over Georgia in the National Championship Game in January. And the Crimson Tide fans are still swooning over the quarterback after an incredible start to the season.
But love for Tagovailoa may now be extending outside of Alabama. He won over a lot of fans this weekend with his latest tweet.
The Alabama quarterback wants EA Sports to bring back the NCAA Football video game.
Bring back NCAA FOOTBALL @EASPORTS

The last version of the game was NCAA Football ’14, which was released five years ago. It was one of the most popular video games among sports fans, but EA Sports stopped production because players cannot collect compensation for the use of their likeness. It also meant schools couldn’t make money on the popular game.
Schools stopped licensing their logos, uniforms and stadiums to EA Sports. Video gamers across the country have been angry ever since.
Apparently that includes Tagovailoa.
It’s possible that Tagovailoa, who has been the most dominant quarterback in college football, wants to see what he could on the video game. Who wouldn’t love that? But, unfortunately, it probably won’t be making a return anytime soon.
