The biggest game of the college football season is here! No. 2 LSU is set to face No. 3 Alabama in Tuscaloosa, and it's safe to say the Crimson Tide fans are going to be crazy for the whole game. Just listen to this bonkers reception Tua Tagovailoa received after it was officially revealed he'd be starting the game under center.

You can barely hear the announcer say Tua's name over the enormous roar from a crowd of over 100,000 people.
Tagovailoa had been out with an ankle injury sustained in Bama's clash with Tennessee back in Week 8, and clearly Crimson Tide fans were eager to see him back out on the field for their biggest clash of the season.
And with Tagovailoa playing, the quarterback duel between Tua and Joe Burrow should be one for the ages. Both QBs are Heisman candidates and it's more than likely one of them will be the first overall pick in May.
The Battle for QB1 By The Numbers!
