If backup quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is the future field general for the Alabama Crimson Tide offense, they will be in good hands under center.

With the Crimson Tide ending their last four games earlier in the second half, Tagovailoa has had many opportunities this season to come in for Jalen Hurts. In four games, Tagovailoa has thrown for 218 passing yards and four touchdowns, two behind Hurts' six passing touchdowns.

One expert thinks that Tagovailoa reps this season will not only benefit him as a quarterback moving forward, but will also provide the Crimson Tide with a security blanket at the QB position.

Scouting expert Chris Landry of LandryFootball.com joined The Game with Ryan Fowler for his weekly report to breakdown Butch Jones underachieving at Tennessee, Tua's performance to start the season, and Coach Nick Saban being tough on players after a blowout win.

Here are some of the major points Landry reported on this week:

  • Big takeaways from Alabama/Ole Miss
  • Alabama playing to their own standard
  • Expects Alabama’s SEC dominance to continue this season
  • Saban wants to win every play, not just the game
  • Secondary doing a good job taking angles to the ball and communicating with one another
  • Alabama's defense designed to be a wall
  • Texas A&M is playing better, but not as good as Vandy on defense
  • Aggies not being a real threat to the Crimson Tide
  • LSU Tigers continues to struggles after loss to Troy
  • Coach Ed Orgeron not working out in Baton Rouge
  • Tennessee has stopped progressing under Butch Jones
  • Significant improvements for Auburn over the past few weeks
