The Tallahassee Quarterback Club (TQC) Foundation, Inc., the Florida-based creator and sponsor of the Biletnikoff Award, has released the 2019 Biletnikoff Award Preseason Watch List.

07/17/19 - QB *Tua Tagovailoa, Jr/2020, Alabama + More +

It's easier for Alabama to be humble now. The Crimson Tide can thank Clemson for that, at least. There's nothing like a 44-16 drubbing in the national championship game to strip away any feelings of invincibility and self-satisfaction that come from scarcely getting challenged during the regular season on the way to another Southeastern Conference title.

"I know it sounds bad, but I'm glad I had that opportunity to feel a loss like that, because what can you learn from winning?" Tide quarterback and Heisman Trophy runner-up Tua Tagovailoa said Wednesday at Southeastern Conference media days. "You can't learn as much. But when you lose, you start appreciating things a lot more. Many lessons have been learned from that loss." It's a silver lining of sorts from a painful performance that rattled Nick Saban's dynasty and made it clear Clemson is a challenger for the label of college football's dominant program. - AP College Football

The Davey O’Brien Foundation has revealed the 2019 Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award Watch List today, a group that includes 30 of the nation’s top returning college quarterbacks.

All nominees are required to have previously started at least one game at their current institution.

Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama, a finalist for the Davey O’Brien Award in 2018, is among the players on the watch list. Tagovailoa is joined by eight semifinalists from last year: Notre Dame’s Ian Book, Mason Fine of North Texas, Georgia’s Jake Fromm, Justin Herbert of Oregon, Houston’s D’Eriq King, Trevor Lawrence of Clemson, Utah State’s Jordan Love and Shea Patterson of Michigan. - The Davey O’Brien Foundation
