Griff could kill it in games when nothing was on the line and/or Bama had a big lead...not so much in big games.

The numbers say this isn't true at all. He had a bad sophomore season all around, but don't forget that he came in injured to send the LSU game to OT with a last play kick.

As a junior and senior, he was 7/9 - 78% (which notably better than his overall career percentage and better than his single season best of 75%) in games Bama won by no more than 7 or lost and he executed one of the best onside kicks in the history of football.

He was the anti Cade Foster. He did his best work when it mattered the most.

bullshite. His FG from 55 yards on the last play of the first half against LSU in 2015 broke a 10-10 tie and was a turning point in the game, and the 5 FGs at Auburn the same year...including from 40, 47, and 50...were huge.
