Nick Saban has always been about putting the best players on the field, but he has yet to start Barmore. In this segment of In My Own Words, Stephen Smith of Touchdown Alabama Magazine explains why the four-star is the best player on the Crimson Tide’s front line and why he needs to start.

Alabama’s Tua Tagovailoa practice on Monday for the first time since having tightrope surgery on his right ankle and he looked good on Tuesday as well. Barring any type of setback, he will play versus the Tigers. Although he told his team not to feed the Twitter machine, Ed Orgeron made two statements this week that did not sit well with Alabama fans. To start this week’s edition of In My Own Words, Stephen Smith of Touchdown Alabama Magazine gives an update on Tagovailoa and talks Orgeron adding more fuel to the fire.

Alabama head coach, Nick Saban mentioned all last week on Tua Tagovailoa being a ‘game-time’ decision against LSU on Nov. 9. While sources have confirmed with Stephen Smith of Touchdown Alabama Magazine on how well the junior quarterback is doing, Saban continues to keep things close to the vest. With the gamesmanship he is playing, does he pull the hypothetical of starting Mac Jones just to mess with the Tigers. On last week’s recording of In My Own Words, Smith breaks down this scenario.
