It’s a very old rule...just not commonly done.
Saban said he had never lost a game like that. Would be willing to bet that 99% of all coaches never lost a game like that. Saban said the player that was supposed to be on the guy who grabbed the ball was no where near him and that cost them the game. Missed assignment. I agree. But that field goal kicker missing 4 times didn’t help matters. Like most on these boards I don’t hate Alabama for winning. And I hated it now that they are probably out of the title game after losing on a freaky play.
