The thing is, I thought clearly time had run out....and I was thinking is Bama made the FG, Auburn would have a legitimate gripe.
Saban really wanted that last second on the clock. I said he’d better let it run out and go into overtime. I was thinking a pass could be intercepted. The player said “Coach Z” told him to be in the end zone in case there was a fake and Alabama passed the ball. He also told the kid he might be able to run it out if it’s short. He called it. And so did the Auburn radio play by play announcer. He said “If it’s short Auburn can run it out.”
He had a "Muschamp Moment."
Low Tide...
:>)
Go Buckeyes!
A rookie kicker and too much distance left.a.lot of open green space. Kind of a.Crimson meltdown of mistakes in less.than one second.
And the fact that Alabama’s kicking team has a bunch of big hogs who had no chance of catching a sprinter in the open field. One of the worst decisions a head coach could ever make.
If Auburn loses in the SEC title game and Michigan State beats Ohio State look for Alabama to play Florida State for the national title. Auburn’d last two wins have been miracles. Either SC or Missouri have the horses to beat them.
Boneheaded plays from Alabama cost them the game today. Look at the stats. Their offense was great. I said last week when Auburn won on that fluke tipped pass it was the luckiest play in the world. Today’s ending tops that. So can Alabama play for the title again. Damn right. If Auburn loses and Ohio States loses next week. And that is a real possibility.
Ohio State now playing for the national title?? cripes....
I don’t mind a guy kicking a field goal to win a game. What’s dumb is not having the capacity to defend a return ON THE FIELD!
That’s what should be embarrassing as heck to him.
I think also too there was a fight between an AL player and an Auburn player which hurt AL also.
I agree, I think time had expired before the Bama player touched down out of bounds.
LOL Tide!
Those Aurburn fans never gave up.
They sure stayed loud all through the game.
Wish my Vols were in these two teams calibre.lol
The best rushing attack in the nation...
While watching this game, I was thinking back many years to the so called “Punt, ‘Bama, Punt,” game. I believe Bear Bryant had two punts blocked and Auburn won that game, too. “Kick a Field Goal, Saban,” today was even better than that classic game many years ago.
That was incredible! Congratulations to Auburn! I hate it for my Crimson Tide, but we lost our cool and discipline, and Auburn came up with the plays to win. That was a fun game to watch.
Yeah, something stinks.
For sure that comedy of errors will be in the next edition of College Football coaching for dummies.
Has anyone seen a replay on that run back that shows if the ball carrier stayed inbounds the whole way?
I think Saban saw that in OT, Auburn had the advantage because of Bama’s atrocious FG kicker.
