Alabama is struggling against Georgia in the National Championship Game and a big problem has been quarterback play from Jalen Hurts. He went 3-of-8 in the first half for 21 passing yards and that has led coach Nick Saban and his staff to throw true freshman Tagovailoa into the game.

It likely has to do with Alabama being down two possessions too:
Just the 3rd time the Tide have been shut out in the 1st half under Saban.

Either way, Alabama's defense is going to have to step up to give whoever is at quarterback a chance to come back and win the game. It seems to have gotten the offense going though as he threw a touchdown to get the Crimson Tide on the board.
