Tua Tagovailoa and Trevor Lawrence to meet in national title game rematch when Dolphins host Jags

Associated Press  

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — There are a few things Tua Tagovailoa remembers about his Alabama team facing Trevor Lawrence and Clemson in the national championship game after the 2018 season. “In that national championship game that’s where, really, I think he made a statement in who he was as a player and just in general,” Tagovailoa said of Lawrence. Him coming in the national championship game, leading his team — and we had a really good Alabama team, too — and he did what he had to do.” Tagovailoa said he and Lawrence have respected each other since entering the NFL and have even run into each other on vacation in the Bahamas a couple of times. “Press and I think alike a lot of times and converse a lot of times during games, and I just think that if you’re looking at it, there’s probably not a lot of differences.” Rookie watch Jaguars rookie receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is expected to start alongside Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis and play significantly.
