I agree. We should have gone for the field goal. But you think a power run offense like that of Alabama could convert a 4th & 1. And didn't Foster miss a chip shot field goal on the previous drive? That might have factored into Saban's decision to go for it on fourth down.
Cade Foster was off and, while it sucks what he went through in the game's aftermath, I'm glad he is no longer in a Crimson Tide jersey.
But here's the sad irony: had it been Foster, and not Griffith, who kicked that final field goal, Foster would have more than likely made the tackle before the Auburn player got to the end zone. As shitty of a kicker as he was, he was probably the best tackler we had on special teams.

Wouldn't 57 yards be a Bama school record? If that's the case, why switch up kickers? I mean, if it was a 33 yard attempt, I could see giving Griffith a chance. But the probability of Foster making a 57 yard attempt has to be a good as Griffith's chances?
Who's decision was it to switch kickers? Saban's or Bobby Williams'?
Better yet, whose decision was it to switch holders?
