Alabama/Auburn

[ajmc]

An unbelievable ending, that boils down to a single fact; the Auburn team kept their head in the game up to the ACTUAL end, Alabama was thinking about Overtime.

And the Auburn coach put his team in a position to win by kicking the game tying extra point instead of going for 2.

And the Alabama coach put his team in position to lose when he went for it on fourth down with 5 minutes left, instead of kicking a 30 yard field goal to make it a 10 point game. However he probably had zero confidence in his kicker at that time.

Yet he chose to attempt a 57-yard field goal over a hail mary?

I guess hindsight makes it easy.

Different kicker.

I wasn't watching that closely, but you'd think that if you'd send him out there to try a 57-yarder, he could handle a 30-yarder.

I thought he was going to take a knee. With about 30 seconds left, my wife and I went to meet some friends down at a nearby pub.
We had that Sirius Free Pass period in our car at the time, and it was the Auburn announcer that I picked to listen to, at random. The announcer described the 1-second review and said, "I don't know why he's gonna kick, Auburn's got just as much a chance to win as Bama at this point." Then had the discussion about what can happen in one second.
I feel lucky that I got to listen to the Auburn announcers describing the kick return and the aftermath. I've never heard two people who were so obviously happy to have the jobs they do. That was incredible.

Unlike that Head Coach of that Team Up North.
