Yep. There was one possible tackler who got a hand on him and one possible foot that might possibly have gone out of bounds. Davis shrugged off the hand, and tiptoed a bit, but stayed in bounds.

A field goal kicker should be able to kick a ball out of play, but this one was short.

I could fault Saban for not knowing his kicker better, but the idea of a game-winning field goal with one second left is not all that unusual.

In fact, had Alabama NOT tried the field goal and gotten unlucky in overtime, Saban would have been ripped apart far worse than this is gonna be.

Trying from 57 yards out was just stupid.
