Another Week, Another Stellar Outing
Very quietly, Maryland quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa has led his team to a 3-0 start with dominant play.
En route to an impressive 20-17 road win at Illinois, Tua’s younger brother went 32-43 for 350 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.
On the season, Tua’s brother has now gone 80-106 (75.5% completion rate) for seven touchdowns and no interceptions. Those are elite numbers.
Heading into the week, here’s what I had to say about him:
“Maryland junior QB Taulia Tagovailoa (+15000, FanDuel) has guided the Terrapins to a 2-0 mark by completing 76.2% of his passes for 606 yards, 6 TD and 0 INT. Expect Tua’s brother to continue to ascend as the weeks roll on.
“Like Corral, Tagovailoa will have a nice variation of matchups coming up. He should have no issues playing well against Illinois, Kent State, Minnesota, Indiana, Michigan State and Rutgers. However, he will face stiff challenges at home against Iowa, on the road at Ohio State, at home against Penn State and at home against Michigan. If he goes 3-1 in those tough games and continues to perform at an elite level, he will be in contention.”
He took care of business and the same analysis remains true. He’s still at +15000, but if he continues to do what he needs to do against lesser opponents and leads his team to multiple upsets, he could absolutely start shooting up the Heisman markets.
