re: Why is a 41-38 regarded as the best game ever played?

As an Alabama fan, the 9-6 game in 2011 was the most intense game I have ever sat through. The way the defenses were playing you knew the first offense to make a big mistake would lose (Maze interception). I love defensive struggles because one big play by the offense can win it. You sit on pins during every snap wondering if this is the "one play". The high scoring games you don't care if the other team scores because you know you are fixing to answer when you get the ball back.
