At one point Saturday, it seemed like a new text message was coming in just about every minute detailing some great play from Tua Tagovailoa.

Touchdown pass to No. 44

And so on.

Though Alabama doesn't allow the media to watch scrimmages, it's clear from information we've gathered that momentum continues to build for Tagovailoa in this competition with Jalen Hurts for the Crimson Tide starting quarterback job.

While Hurts has had some good moments during fall camp and while the competition is ongoing, it's fair to say that Tagovailoa had the much better day of the two on Saturday during the first of Alabama's two fall scrimmages.

"Disclaimer: this is the first scrimmage of camp, and the only practice I've seen," former Alabama defensive back Will Lowery tweeted after the scrimmage. "But from what I watched today, I'll be shocked if Tua isn't day 1 starter, and it isn't close."

Word is that Tagovailoa threw at least three touchdowns with no interceptions while Hurts had three interceptions and didn't account for any touchdowns.

The first Tagovailoa touchdown was more so an excellent play from sophomore wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, who put a great move on one of Alabama's defensive backs and then outran other defensive players to the end zone after catching a short pass.

There were at least two more Tagovailoa touchdowns later on, though -- one of about 20 yards to redshirt freshman receiver Tyrell Shavers and the one to No. 44, sophomore tight end Kedrick James.

While there were at least a couple times that Tagovailoa took risks and threw balls into dangerous areas, it seems like it was a great day overall for him. Enough so that Lowery posted the tweet he did following the scrimmage.

"We're going to evaluate the quarterback situation," Tide coach Nick Saban said. "We're going to keep looking at the guys. What somebody did today or didn't do today is not going to win or lose him the job, aight. It's going to be a cumulative effect and the consistency that they practice with and play with the whole time. And that's in fairness to both players, who are really good competitors and really working hard and really doing a good job. So we don't have much more to say than that."
