Due to concerns regarding Hurricane Ian, the Miami Dolphins traveled to Cincinnati early to practice for Thursday night’s matchup against the Bengals.
On Wednesday, the Dolphins conducted a practice session at the University of Cincinnati’s Nippert Stadium — home of the Bearcats football program.
Tua Tagovailoa and his Miami squad were met by several Cincinnati students upon their arrival on campus. One fan shouted “F–k Alabama” at the former Crimson Tide quarterback.
“Ya’ll lost to us,” Tua shot back with a smile.
Take a look at the incident here:
Last year, Cincinnati finally broke into the College Football Playoff field — becoming the first non-Power Five team to accomplish that feat. In their CFP semifinal, the Bearcats fell to Tua’s alma mater 27-6.
This isn’t the first reminder Tua will get of his collegiate career this week. He has a familiar quarterback matchup against Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, a former LSU Tigers signal caller. Tua and Burrow faced off in a thrilling No. 2 vs. No. 3 matchup in 2019 that saw LSU come out on top.
The Dolphins and Bengals will face off tomorrow night a 8:15 p.m. ET.
