  The Tua Tagovailoa-Steve Sarkisian connection goes back to a different time in a much different place than Tuscaloosa. Then head coach at USC, the current Alabama offensive coordinator was in Hawaii watching a young high school talent whizzing the football around with his left arm. Meeting with reporters at Alabama's annual media day, Sarkisian recalled the first time he saw the 2018 Heisman runner-up. "I'll never forget," Sarkisian said Saturday, "he was in high school, the 10th grade, and it was a really windy, windy day in Hawaii, and he was cutting the wind. I mean it was extremely accurate, not only stood out to me and still does to this day."

Over the next few years, that kid became one of the most explosive passers in college football. And after recruiting him to Los Angeles, Sarkisian now gets a shot at leading Tagovailoa deep in SEC country. The progress is evident while the strong-armed throws remain. "Now after watching him play college football, studying the tape, being attentive in spring ball, he's a very instinctive player," Sarkisian said. "He has a natural feel for passing the football and the passing game. Just on that note, I think those two things stand out to me - his ability to stay accurate regardless of the elements and his quick release, and then the instincts he plays with." - Birmingham News
