VIDEO: Tua Tagovailoa Finds Devonta Smith to Set Alabama Record With 79th Passing Touchdown
By Jerry Trotta
Another week of college football, and another record for Tua Tagovailoa. The Alabama quarterback came into Saturday's SEC tilt against Texas A&M two passing touchdowns shy of setting the Crimson Tide's school record. Well, the left-handed phenom etched his name in the record book before the end of the first quarter. Checkout Tua set the record with his 79th-career touchdown pass on a simple slant route to wideout Devin Smith to extend Bama's lead to 14-7 over the Aggies.

Talk about a pitch and catch. Where on earth was Texas A&M's secondary on this one?
Smith easily beat the Aggies' man coverage and Tagovailoa hit him in stride for the score. As cool as you like from the Crimson Tide's star duo.
It's truly anyone's guess as to how many Alabama records Tua is on pace to break in 2019.
